Another "typing kills my xterm" post...

All,

I made the mistake of upgrading today and it has killed me.

I am trying to bring a xwindow up from a Solaris 9 server to my Windows XP
laptop running cygwin.

So a few things out of the way:

- Yes, I have read the FAQ.  I am not setting XKeysymDB in any way and
various fixes proposed in this an other posting areas don't work.  I have
followed everything in the FAQ to the letter to no avail.

- I blew away my entire installation and reinstalled from scratch, so there
are no stray startxwin.bat files around

- I tried starting from the Start menu -> Cygwin/X, from startxwin.bat, etc

- I patched the Solaris system I am touching but it didn't fix anything.

I can get an xterm to come up and it types just fine.  But when I bring my
app up, typing kills the window resulting in a core dump on the Solaris
server.

There is nothing of note in any local logs (on my laptop).  No errors, no
nothing.

I do get a core file on the Solaris system, but I can't tell if anything in
it tells me anything.

I understand that this is an ongoing problem, but is there anything I have
missed?
