Package: libxaw7
Version: 2:1.0.12-2+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
1. Run xconsole
2. Run editres
3. Do "Commands|Get Tree" in editres, point to xconsole window
4. In editres: select textSink widget (left mouse click), do
"Commands|Show Resource Box"
5. In Resource box, do middle-click on textProperties (to get current
"Resource Value").
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
xconsole dies with SIGSEGV:

* What outcome did you expect instead?
Probably error in the *editres* or something, but certainly not a fatal
error in the examined application?
Attached patch plugs this SIGSEGV, but I'm not sure if it is 100%
correct or sufficient.

Thanks. This fix was in libXaw 1.0.14, now in stable.
