Thanks for the bug report and the fix. I've heard of the bug once
before for a DEC alpha running OSF/1. It appears not to be a problem
with the R5 Xlib.h straight from MIT that *I* am using. Maybe it is
an OSF/1 problem?

Anyway, I imagine that eventually sdtwin should be fixed to use the
proper way of getting access to these variables (otherwise the define
wouldn't have that name would it?).

Paul Sijben, do you still have the fixes you applied to stdwin for
this?
