Description of problem:
On Linux RedHat 6.2 (2.2.14-5.0) Japanese, if you call XInitThreads and 
link with pthread, the program will hang when the input method is started.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Here are the steps to reproduce it:

1) Compile the attached C code. The Motif home needs to be
updated in the makefile. The testcase will fail when compiled
against Open Motif from Metrolink (openmotif-2_1_30-4_MLI_i386.rpm).
However, we believe the problem is in the Japanese Input Method which is 
part of the base X support.

2) Run the executable "test" in a japanese machine

3) When the window open, give focus to the text field

4) Start the japanese input method by pressing <Shift+Space>

5) Type some characters and press <Enter>.	 At this point, the 
testcase
will hang.

5) Comment the following line in the makefile

LIB_FLAGS += -lpthread

6) Recompile the tescase.

7) Run it again. It should not hang this time.
