        I don't still check this problem , sorry.
        I'll do it later.

        what I think happens is as follows.

        If you kill xcin on mlterm , the destroy event happens while you are inputting
        something from keyboard(that is , while mlterm is receiving keyboard events
        with *XmbLookupString*) , so mlterm hangs up in XmbLookupString before receiving
        the destroy event.

        I tried it on rxvt and the same problem happened.

        I think this problem cannot be avoided unless XLookupString is always used in
        receiving us ascii text.

        But if XLookupString is used like that , it will cause another problem and
        I don't want to do it.

        If you want to kill xcin on mlterm , please do it after selecting "unused" as
        Input Method on mlconfig or pressing keys assigned for XIM_CLOSE (, which stop
        using XIM).

        This is my mistake. Please test an attached patch.
