bug#3124: 23.0.92; emacs crash when start scim in shell

[Yuanle Song]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

//Problem:
//scim doesn't work on latest emacs cvs version.

Summary:
The latest emacs gtk version started in locale en_US.UTF-8 crashes 
whenever scim is started!

How to reproduce:

1. start emacs gtk version in en_US.UTF-8 locale

   	 $ env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 emacs &

  I found that this bug disappear when emacs is started in zh_CN.UTF-8 locale.

2. start emacs shell

   	 M-x shell

3. start scim in emacs shell
  Note that you should quit scim if it is already started in X. You can do that
by right click on the scim icon in notification area and click quit.

   	 type "scim -d" in emacs shell

4. expected result:
  Scim start successfully with output similar to:
	~ $ scim -d
	Smart Common Input Method 1.4.7

	Launching a SCIM daemon with Socket FrontEnd...
	Loading simple Config module ...
	Creating backend ...

	Loading socket Config module ...
	Creating backend ...
	Loading x11 FrontEnd module ...
	GTK Panel of SCIM 1.4.7

	Starting SCIM as daemon ...
	SCIM has been successfully launched.
	~ $ 

5. what happend
  Scim is started, but emacs crashed with Segmentation fault.

gdb bt full and xbacktrace attached. emacs is compiled with -g -O2, if -O0 is
appreciated please tell me to recompile.

Additional info:
* If emacs is started with -nw option in a terminal. "scim -d" casue no error 
  and is able to start successfully. emacs won't crash.
* If emacs gtk version is started. Then scim is started at terminal outside
  emacs. emacs crash with segmentation fault.
* I have used emacs-snapshot package for debian before. It crashes when scim
  is started at emacs shell as well. The difference is scim is not start when 
  emacs-snapshot crashes.


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.92/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I can't reproduce this.  Can anyone on this list verify this bug?

bug#3124: 23.0.92; emacs crash when start scim in shell

[Robert Cochran]

I didn't get a crash when I tried this either using SCIM 1.4.17 and "GNU
Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
bars) of 2018-06-03". Apparently repros were sparse amongst other people
as well at the time.

In 2009.

In 2018.

I'm therefore closing this as unreproducible.  If anyone can still
reproduce this on a modern version of Emacs, please report back so
that we can reopen this bug.

Thanks,
Stefan Kangas
