Hi,

i've written a simple x prog in c++. In my main event loop when i get
an KeyPress event i'm calling XLookupString to get the character code
of the key which is causing an segmentation fault.

The gdb backtrace says the following:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x40005453 in _dl_map_object_internal () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
