    Hi!

    I'm working with an app on RH Linux 7.3, using Open Motif 2.2.2-3 with Xmt
    2.0. The application builds and runs properly on several other Un*x
    platforms, but I'm getting the following Xlib error when I run on the Linux
    system:

    Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence ...)

    The application is the target for a paste operation, and I have an event
    handler for selection processing based on the XtGetSelectionValue() method.
    When the selection_callback method is invoked (as per Xt docs) the XSync
    call is called before returning. This causes the above error and
    effectively "hangs" the app - no more events get processed and I have to
    kill the process.

    I tried removing the call, but then the app for some reason generates an X
    error anyhoo, and invokes the method set using the XSetErrorHandler method.

    Anyone have a clue what's happening, and why it doesn't run on RH Linux 7.3
    but works on HP, Solaris, and AIX boxes???

    Thanks!
