Failure of XtGetApplicationResources() in X11R7.

[Rodrigo Medina]

To the X11 mantainer:
I am trying to compile the last version of
xdvik (22.84.14) with X11R7.

The execution of xdvi-xaw3d stops with Segmentation fault.

Using gdb I have determined that the failure is due to the
function XtGetApplicationResources() of the Xt library.

       --------------------------------
The function XtGetApplicationResources()  gives a lot of warnings about
type conversion and yields a pointer resource.paper which is out of bounds.

I am sorry of not being able to give you a simpler example of failure,
but I am not an expert on libXt.
