[comp.windows.x] Strange problems with xcalendar

The details: X11.3, Sun 3/60, SunOS 4.0, awm.

I recently discovered xcalendar, and I was quickly addicted.  It is a very
useful tool.  However, I have found two highly obnoxious problems:

1)	Frequently, the "dayeditor" fails.  Essentially, I get the window,
	and it is still sensitive to the mouse buttons, but I am unable to
	type anything in.  It is as if the keypress events were simply not
	getting through.  Sometimes restarting xcalendar fixes the problem,
	sometimes it doesn't.  If I keep an xcalendar around long enough, I
	am guaranteed to eventually have problems.

2)	On color Suns, xcalendar dumps core as soon as the pointer enters
	its window.

I haven't had the chance to dig into the code after either one of these;
I will try to do that soon.  Until then, has anybody else seen this behavior,
and (best of all) fixed it?

Thanks,
