I've just run in to an interesting bug. I select
"Edit Message" from the View menu in xmh, modify a message text and
then save it. Fine. But, if I do it again, I get a core dump. Dbx
reports the following:
(dbx) run
Running: /usr/bin/X11/xmh
signal SEGV (segmentation violation) in _XtAddDefaultConverters at 0xf768569c

Any ideas?

We've seen the same thing here. The only additional information I have
to add is that it only occurs with libXt patched after fix-8. On the
same machine (sun4 OS 4.0.3c) with the same xmh binary and shared libs
using libXt patched up to fix-8, no crash; using libXt patched through
fix-18, it crashes predictably after 2 saves. I did get an error
message once while crashing it in dbx: "Error: calloc failed"
Can anyone help?
