If xmh was built with the compiler gcc 1.34, 1.35, or 1.36, and if the
public patch #2 from MIT has not been applied to the source tree, then
yes, this is a known problem.  Either apply fix-2 to the sources, or
use a different compiler.

Otherwise, it is not a known problem, and a bug report should be filed.
The bug report template is in the source tree in doc/bugs.
