The programs don't work regardless of whether X11 R3 or X11 R4 are
used.  Most of the errors I have been finding are pure logic errors.
I don't see how they ever could have worked in Release 3 or Release 4.
To save net bandwidth, I will send further bug reports to
ora!bugs@uunet.uu.net.  I assume this is a valid bug address.
My mail to this address hasn't bounced yet.
