What are you trying to do?
Tell the rlease team about a difference with x11r5 clients of which
they may not have previously been aware.
Ok, so what is it?
The output of the command `xrdb -symbols' is formatted differently
by x11r5 and x11r5 clients:
Show us the gory details.
Ok, here are the gory details:

And just why might the release team care?
Some users parse the output of this command, and the parsers may
need to be adapted to work under this new (nicer, IMHO) format.
Should we bother crashing NetProb by trying to assign a number to this
and/or send you mail about this?
Nope; but thanks for asking.
