Description Paulo Andrade 2012-05-23 00:14:06 UTC 
I also reported the problem at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50252

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/libXaw.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/libXaw-1.0.9-4.fc18.src.rpm

This patch is required to avoid crashes in any application
using the Xaw text widget.
Comment 1 Paulo Andrade 2012-07-02 19:09:07 UTC 
libXaw-1.0.11 is now in rawhide and the patch was added to upstream tarball. The issue was only known to affect xedit, but could also affect any other application using the Xaw text widget and built with gcc 4.7.
