RE: XOpenIM can you confirm?

["Suhaib Siddiqi" <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

You need to post only to Cygwin-Xfree.  Please do not CC to Cygwin list.
Most of Cygwin users subscribe to Cygwin-XFree list therefore do not
like duplicate messages from multiple listings.  Thanks.

Which version of X libs from Cygwin-Xfree project are you using?  
If it is X11R6.4 then yes, there was a bug in X11R6.4 libraries.  The bug
existed in the stock X11R6.4 distributed by X.org.

If you are using X11R6 libs from XFree86 ports, from xc-4-binaries
directory, then it had been fixed.  I fixed this a while ago in our sources
and this fix should appear in  stock XFree86 4.0.1 future release too.
The XOpenIM bug was causing memory coruptions.
