When I installed X11R4 on HP-UX 7.0 the latest fix available was #5 so
things might have changed by now. Anyway, there was a problem in the
"hp.cf" config file: the -DMALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL should be defined.
Well, I did that and still it didn't work, probably my own stupidity,
but I solved it by putting this at the beginning of the file
"mit/lib/X/Xlibos.h":

	#ifdef hpux
	#	define MALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL
	#endif hpux

Next I did a 'make World' again, and it's runs great since then...


			good luck,
