This bug did not exist in R3 and will not exist in R5. (The doc, spec, and header file are all correct.) As you can see from the code fragment Bob enclosed, the function header appears twice in the source code, once with ANSI-C-style prototypes, and once with K&R style. The ANSI-C is broken in R4. Don't break Emacs to compensate; have the affected people edit their Xlib and re-build. < Stephen MIT X Consortium
