Netscape can't be started up in Japanese mode

Install qa0124.0 everything in NFS GUI mode,selecting Japanese installar and Japanese default enviroment.Reboot the system,Japanese netscape exit abnormally after confirmed. [redhat@japan3 redhat]$ netscape /sbin/pidof: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/netscape/ns_bogus_locale.so: undefined symbol: _XmTextFieldSetDestination mkdir: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/netscape/ns_bogus_locale.so: undefined symbol: _XmTextFieldSetDestination touch: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/netscape/ns_bogus_locale.so: undefined symbol: _XmTextFieldSetDestination sed: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/netscape/ns_bogus_locale.so: undefined symbol: _XmTextFieldSetDestination sleep: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/netscape/ns_bogus_locale.so: undefined symbol: _XmTextFieldSetDestination bus error(core dumped) [redhat@japan3 redhat]$ But,if run LANG=C netscape,English netsacpe can be properly started up.
I get the same errors, but netscape runs OK (and displays Japanese here.) The errors come from unconditionally setting LD_PRELOAD; we need to only do that when running the netscape binary itself. That will be fixed in netscape-common-4.76-6.
I tried an everything install of beta3, and this worked for me. Please reopen if this persists with the final beta3.
You are running in Japanese mode, yes? I've seen two (Nakai and Bill's) machines fail with beta3, as well as my own install of beta-3. Bill (Huang) can show you a beta-3 tomorrow that fails.
Aha, I managed to reproduce it. It doesn't like kinput2; if I unset XMODIFIERS, it starts fine. Of course, that may not be the best solution, but I'm not sure how else to fix it.
Certainly,I can show the failure.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
It's segfaulting in the Xim code. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x089161c7 in _XmImRedisplay () at eval.c:41 41 eval.c: No such file or directory. in eval.c (gdb) Unfortunately, I don't know squat about Xim to know whether this is an X bug, a bug in how Netscape uses Xim, or a kinput2 bug.
Whoops, that's not the Xim library, that's netscape's statically linked motif goop. Fun.
OK, if we switch back to using -irix-session-management, instead of -session-management, it starts working again. I love debugging binary-only crap software. Really. Fixed in 4.76-8.
Fied and verified.
