Okey, I come across it now. It seems like the xcin server received
some kind of ClientMessage (I assume that the xcin selected the event).
Then the xcin filtered the event and sent out some composed char. In
return, it got another ClientMessage, and it filtered, composed and the
thing goes on and on and on. Maybe some race condition happened.

I don't know if it is what happened to you but it is what happened to
me. Maybe there are something can be done about how the xcin handles
ClientMessage event. But I am not sure.

Beside, the sample testprog comes with xcin does not shown chinese
in its client window. I tested it on my Debian potato box (i.e. with
glibc2.1.1). Apparently, mbstowcs returned an empty string. In the
function check_char, the buf shows chinese but cch shows nothing.
Who else has the some result? Maybe it is a glibc problem?
