Just to revisit something... some might recall my recent cries of anguish
about this problem I've been getting:

Well, XFree86-3.3.3 has just been released.  This is a small cut from the
release notes...

======8<------- cut -------------

....

4.  What's new in 3.3.3?

....

4.2  Bug fixes

   o Fix a serious LBX bug using uninitialized variables.

======8<------- cut -------------

So it seems that this is exactly what I was experiencing  :)

I'll be upgrading very soon... I really want to be able to use exmh over
the modem without that hassle  :)

[BTW, it really is quite comfortable using exmh over the phone with
lbxproxy over an ssh link... I'm keen to finish off a little HOWTO about
doing this - as soon as I have finished a big project that I'm currently
very frantically working on.]

Cheers
Tony
