[Pkg-sdl-maintainers] Bug#354617: libsdl1.2debian: all sdl progs segfault since the upgrade to 1.2.9-1

[Joe Wreschnig]

merge 354617 354655
severity 354617 critical
thanks

005_x11_keysym_fix.diff introduced severe ABI breakage in libSDL that is
causing most programs using it to crash. Previously it was possible to
call X11_TranslateKey with a NULL xkey and a valid kc; XKeycodeToKeysym
does not need xkey, and there are several checks for non-NULL xkey later
in the function to make sure it's safe before using it.

With the patch, XLookupString is called with xkey as a mandatory
non-NULL argument. Programs that call it with NULL arguments thus
segfault.

Please revert this patch.
