Lets just say you wouldn't be the first person to find a bug in Rational's X
bindings....
I'd highly suggest going into the source code for their bindings and looking
for the problem. Try copying the code for the binding you are using into your
own code and playing with it there. I tracked down a nasty little pointer
dereferencing problem that way. This was a problem that they would have
gotten if they had called this routine *even once*. Go figure.
Of course that was over 4 years ago. Surely they have most of those bugs
worked out by now... ;-)
There is also the tasking issue. As I remember it they had a task-safe set of
bindings and a "straight" set. If you use non-task safe X bindings in a
multitask Ada (or C!) program you have to be very careful.
