    a)  Will there be a "fix-15" patch coming out?

Yes.  Real Soon Now.  If only I didn't have to wade through
so d*d much mail/news :-)

    b)  Will it contain fixes for the bugs corresponding to the patches that the
        OSF is supplying with Motif 1.1?

Yes.  The fixes will not be syntactically identical.  As with all
other MIT patches, you will be expected to apply it to a vanilla
MIT tree (with previous MIT patches applied).

Part of the confusion is that the MIT fixes have been available
internally to X Consortium members for several weeks.  The delay
has been partly workload-related and partly to allow for additional
testing time, since there are many more than just the one patch
required by Motif that will be part of the next fix.  Any claims
heard about "already having fix-15" are nonsense; the pieces are
still being gathered together at this very moment.

Back to editing...
