RE: X11 apps failing after upgrade

[James Ferguson <jferguson at juniper dot net>]

Yeah, I'm sorry to confirm that I installed the Solaris patch
(119059-45) on one machine (Solaris 10) and while it seems to allow me
to run an xterm (though I have no interest in doing so - didn't do much
testing), my GNU Emacs still fails in the same way.

I tried a recompilation of Emacs, in case the patch changed some
statically linked library (yeah, a long shot I know), but no change.  I
can't run it up.

Thanks,

James.

Hi

We get all the same issues described in [1].

Furthermore, installing the Solaris patch mentioned in [2] made *NO*
difference (we are using Solaris 9).

Some applications half work e.g. xclearcase does not crash but
keyboard inputs into some dialogue boxes are ignored.

Other appications e.g. gvim & emacs allow menu actions but crash at
the first keyboard input.

Any suggestions as to how to progress this issue further?
