While testing an application I have been working on for some time I rediscovered Motif Bug 1117 which is recorded in the MotifZone.com bug database. When I looked at the bug though I found that it was reported as fixed as suggested. Looking at the CVS I thought that it was fixed in 1.3 revision of lib/Xm/Label.c. I noticed that the ?TAG? label for 1.4 revision of the same file is release_2_2_4.
I have downloaded the openmotif-2.2.4-0.1.src.rpm from the http//ftp.motifzone.com/om2.2.4/rhel-3/ directory but have found that the lib/Xm/Label.c revision 1.2 is the same as the one released in that src.rpm file. Revision 1.2 of Label.c does not contain the bug fix for bug 1117.
Have I misunderstood the branching tags? If so, what version of OpenMotif should I expect the bug 1117 to be fixed in. If I have not misunderstood the tags then would it be possible to have a corrected release made that uses the bug fix for bug 1117? I am willing to file a bug report if need be, but I am not sure whether I am just one with a misunderstanding here.
This bug 1117 which is corrected by changing a call to ?strlen(str)? to be ?(str)?strlen(str)0? in Label.c is one that is critical for me for when I middle mouse click on an XmLabel in my internationalized application the program in question core-dumps. If this bug 1117 is not expected to be fixed in the 2.2 series then is there a work-around? If there is a work-around then is it possible for the person who documents the work-around to explain why the work-around works.
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,

The SRC.RPM files do not have the correct code
After having difficultly looking at the cvs tree on one computer I tried checking it out on a different computer using the "cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.motifzone.net:/cvs co -r release_2_2_4 openmotif" command. Thence noticed I that the lib/Xm/Label.c for the 2.2.4 taged release is correct. It seems that the SRC.RPM is built incorrectly -- to include a pre-2.2.4 Label.c file.
So, now the question I think is first -- where do I file the report? It is not a code problem but instead a configuration management problem.

OpenMotif 2.2.4-0.1 labels bug 1117 resolution
Go ahead and post the problem on bugs.motifzone.net.
The 2.2.4 was never fully released and eventually became 2.3 (which is now in beta). You might confirm we did the right thing on that one!

The 2.3 beta 2 has the fix for the bug 1117.
I am sad that we have to use a beta version for this fix. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :(
