I recently discovered (working with xzwrite) that XtTextInvalidate()
causes an RT Xt client to segfault every time. It is called three
times from the xmh sources, once from EDiskSrc.c and twice from
tsource.c. The right way to deal with this of course to fix the bug
in the text widget, but there is an easier, kludgy way:
XtTextDisplay() causes the entire buffer to be redrawn and doesn't
crash the RT. This is of course less effient since XtTextInvalidate()
only redraws the changed portions, but at least it works..
