Description Silenio Quarti CLA 2001-10-11 14:23:03 EDT 
On Linux RedHat 6.2 (2.2.14-5.0) Japanese, if you call XInitThreads and link
with pthread, the program will hang when the input method is started.

Here are the steps to reproduce it:

1) Compile the attached C code. The Motif home needs to be
updated in the makefile. The testcase will fail when compiled
against Open Motif from Metrolink (openmotif-2_1_30-4_MLI_i386.rpm).

2) Run the executable "test" in a japanese machine

3) When the window open, give focus to the text field

4) Start the japanese input method by pressing <Shift+Space>

5) Type some characters and press <Enter>.	 At this point, the testcase
will hang.

5) Comment the following line in the makefile

LIB_FLAGS += -lpthread

6) Recompile the tescase.

7) Run it again. It should not hang this time.

This is a third part problem. The problem has been worked around
in SWT by avoiding the call to XInitThreads().
