   In GNU Emacs 18.52.3 of Tue Apr 11 1989 on omaha1 (berkeley-unix)

   	Then I got it to link up and correctly generate an 'xemacs' which I
   tried running over the net on an X-server.  I keep getting 

   bus error (core dumped).  Here is what the stack trace looks like : 

   Bus error (core dumped)
   ittc:emacs>adb xemacs
   core file = core -- program ``xemacs''
   SIGBUS 10: bus error
   $c
   _XLookupString(0xf7ffdd68,0xf7ffddcc,0x14,0xf7ffdd5c,0xf7ffdd60,0x78) + 288

The Sun server uses the XComposeStatus parameter on XLookupString  for
composing key sequences. Older servers, and the MIT release, don't use
this yet. The call in emacs that calls XLookupString() is currently:

<file x11term.c> 

1226:	XComposeStatus status;

	 .....

1396:	nbytes = XLookupString (&event,
				mapping_buf, 20, &keysym,
				&status);

and needs to be changed to:

static	XComposeStatus	status;

	nbytes = XLookupString (&event,
				mapping_buf, 20, &keysym,
				&status);

since status is a pointer that is used between calls it  can't  be  on
the stack.

Note that NULL should also work with the server, as before, but  there
was  an  interrum  version  of  the  server that expected the `status'
variable  anyway.  (Although  I don't believe this is out in the field
version.)

Hope this helps!
