Donna Converse of the X Consortium has supplied the patch to xmh that
I requested.
For those who missed my previous message, there is a bug in gcc 1.371
that apparently causes xmh to print out extraneous numbers adjacent to
the message number. I.e., msg number 411 will come out 8411 (or
something similar). And when a user tries to click on that message
(to read it, or whatever), xmh of course can't find the non-existent
message numbered 8411.
Donna's patch will fix this problem. I've enclosed a copy of the
patch below.
Many thanks to Donna for her speedy reply!

Actually it was originally posted to xpert by Mark Davies.
