	Hi,

	The problem you are encountering is due to a patch to the
	XT_REVISION #define in IntrinsicP.h that occurred (I believe)
	in fix-14 from MIT. The libXt we shipped on OpenWindows V2
	is "vanilla" X11R4 up to and including fix-13, unfortunately
	the patch containing the new revision number arrived too late
	for inclusion into the product. The error messages are in the
	main harmless but annoying. Since our library is unaltered
	from the MIT release I can see nothing wrong in superceding
	it with a more up to date copy (although should you encounter
	problems and report them .... please indicate the fix level
	you are at .. and check to see if the same bug exists with 
	the supplied version also ..... )

	apologies

	Larry Cable,

	Project Leader, Open Look Intrinsics Toolkit, Sun Microsystems.
