 Wonderful! This cures the frequent crashes I experienced while using
 lookup.el. Last weekend I managed to reproduce these crashes, but
 wasn't yet able to narrow it down to a small bit of sample code. 
Oh, are these the crashes you reported to crashes(a)xemacs.org (Sorry
don't have the PR# handy)? I thought we had fixed that by checking for
dead processes?

...
 The last function shown on the lisp backtraces was always
 `split-window' shortly after some Japanese characters had been
 inserted.

 Therefore when I saw Gunnars patch appear on this list, I guessed this
 might fix my problem, and indeed it did. 
Uhm, it wasn't really meant as a serious patch, more as a help in
diagnosing the problem. As you are apparently running an xemacs with
it, does it cause a massive slowdown or any other obvious changes?
