There was string overflow bug in XFree 4.3.0. The patch to fix it
(already in XFree cvs) can be found at

http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/xkbprint/psgeom.c.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.6

Mike, could you please use this patch in all future XFree releases
(well, unless you already use XFree from CVS older than 4.3.99.3). The
bug causes xkbprint to crash in complex xkb configurations.

Same question about this:

http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols.c.diff?r1=3.14&r2=3.15

Again, without this patch some xkb configurations cause xkbcomp to
crash. For example, try "setxkbmap -layout us,ru,de" in vanilla RH9
(this indirectly launches xkbcomp).

Regards,
