Patches for a variety of problems in R5 are now available via anonymous ftp
on export.lcs.mit.edu, and 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-14".
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 14
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 14 corrects the following problems:

An enhancement to Xlib for the X Consortium's Xlib and X Protocol Test Suite:
the test suite can now use the internal interface _XConnectDisplay to obtain
raw connections to the X server, thus allowing maximum portable protocol test
coverage.  In order to ensure this coverage, set XP_OPEN_DIS to XlibXtst.c
when configuring the Xlib and X Protocol Test Suite.

Xlib: IO error during connect may dereference NULL
Xlib: duplicate free() in XCloseDisplay from IO error handler
Xlib: could use better _XConnectDisplay interface for test suite
Xlib: XCloseDisplay does not free memory
Xlib: endian definition is missing when compiling XConnDis.c for OSF1
Xlib and Xt: LATIN2 keysyms are not handled correctly in ConvertCase
Xlib and Xt: Latin-3 case converter
Xt: XIM w/ keycode 0 (as defined by Xlib I18N) does not work with Xt
Xt: XtCreateWidget errs when parent is an Object, not a Widget
Xt: SetValues on TopLevelShell's iconic resource when popped_up is True
Xt: set values on iconic resource should not affect initialState
Xt: identifyWindows hack clobbers real information
Xt: frees memory returned by Xlib with Xt interface
Xt: unintentional reference inside Display structure
Xt: geometry requests with SetValues 
Xt: release of passive grab not recognized
Xt: XtOpenDisplay ignores -name when appl_name parameter is present
Xt: XtOpenDisplay should check that argv[0] isn't the empty string
Xt: XtCloseDisplay frees NULL per-display keysyms
Xext: XShmPutImage missing gc update
fonts: missing copyright for Bitstream Courier Speedo fonts
