Patches for a variety of problems in R5 are available via anonymous
ftp on export.lcs.mit.edu and via the xstuff mail archive server on
expo.lcs.mit.edu.

Fixes are available via anonymous ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12),
in the directory /pub/R5/fixes/.  The file for this fix is "fix-21".
Instructions for applying the fix are included in the file.  Fixes usually
propagate to other distribution sites as well, so it may pay to check at a
nearer site first.

For those without ftp access, individual fixes can be obtained by mail by
sending a message to xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.11).  In the usual
case, the message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line
body and no subject.  For example, make the line:
	send fixes 21
to get this fix.  To get a summary of fixes, make the line:
	index fixes
If you need help, make the line:
	help
Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return
addresses.  If you use such a mailer, you won't get any response.  If you
happen to know an explicit path, you can include a line like
	path foo%bar.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
or
	path zot!gzork!me@uunet.uu.net
in the body of your message, and the daemon will use it.

Fix 21 corrects the following problems:

xdm: patch 20 introduced a build problem on AIX 3
Xlib: (Xsi) XCreateFontSet calls free() with NULL
Xlib: (Xsi) wcharint.h should not check the typedef of wchar with WNULL
Xlib: (Xsi) stack allocation problem in multitasking environment
Xlib: (Xsi) bug in definition of XipLocalICRec
Xlib: (Xsi) LocalIM returns only Keysym
Xlib: (Xsi) LoadCodeset() needs to initialize `cds_mb_cur_max'...
