#1 zrm cause minichinput to crash under FreeBSD

[hao chen]

when using ZRM, most of HZ coded by asciis start with a
"v" crashes minichinput. I only found one that does
not: vsgo, which codes for CHINA. This does not happen
under redhat 9

details: ZRM was enabled by first using cin2tab to
obtain a zrm.tab and zrm.tab.phr. cce_hzinput.c was
edited to comment out the Qmode=1 lines. Then .chinput
was edited to include the ZRM module.

This may have something to do with the freebsd patch
since the cvs version won't compile under freebsd:
cd ImmModules; make
cd cce; make
cd turbo; make
cd src; make
for d in IMdkit server client; do ( cd $d; make ); done
make: don't know how to make ../../../config.h. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/home/hao/temp/miniChinput/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/hao/temp/miniChinput.

There is a hidden problem for ZRM. Maybe it is the reason which
crash freebsd.

The max length of a Chinese phrase is 8, which means, those
phases in ZRM table which longer than 8 may cause display
problems. This kind of problems may behave differently in
freebsd and in linux.

Solution is delet all phrases in the ZRM table with >8
length. Use gawk or other tools to do that:
awk 'length($1)<=20' original_zrm_file >outputfile
or
awk 'length($2)<=16' zrm_cin_file >output_cin_file

This kind of constrains should be added in the cin2tab tool.

tested chinese phrases longer than 8 under both linux and
freebsd using ZRM. Under linux (RH9), the display of Chinese
phrases is fine even for long phrases. Under freebsd,
thought, chinput freezes when long phrases are entered. The
chinput box is still on the screen and can be moved around,
but not responding to key strokes. This is different from
the 'v'-key coded chinese phrases are entered, under the
later condition, the chinput box disappears immediately.
Thanks for taking a look at this!
