[Mlterm-dev-en] segfault on xim open

[Ambrose Li <a....@ie...>]

Hi,

has anyone had any success using mlterm with kinput2? For me, it
segfaults immediately as soon as it tries to open the IM.

My system is GNU/Linux with libc5, XFree86 3.3.2, and kinput2 3.1
beta4 with Wnn4. I know i18n is completely broken in libc5 and the
kinput2 I am using is beta, but kinput2 seems to work fine in both
kterm and rxvt, so I tend to (for now) suspect an mlterm problem.

The backtrace is like this:

BTW, is the patch manager in sourceforge used at all?
