I have just today discovered a show-stopper in using the new Willow we
built monts ago:
It is important to be able to select text in the record display window
and paste it into the search window.
This is something that works just fine on the Willow built with Motif 1.1.
Alas, it core dumps under Motif 1.2.
This horrible behavior is repeatable on both the DECStation and the Sun.

How should we proceed?
Spend another year hoping that x11r4 and motif1.1 will hold together for
Willow?
Spend resources isolating the fault in Motif 1.2?
Load up the newest patch to Motif 1.2?

I WONDER what I will tell the folks at University of Washington who are
using binaries I INSISTED were ok.
