Hmm, let's go back my original question. :)
Why xcin work under XFree 4.1 but not under XFree 4.2 ?
I only wrote "setenv XMODIFIERS @im=xcin" into ~/.cshrc will cause
some programs (like gqview, mozilla,..etc) core dump without
stating up xcin. X-) xcin can be pop up but unusable.
After using your patch, I don't get core dump.
xcin still can be pop up but still unusable.

After setting "setenv LC_CTYPE zh_TW.Big5" on my system, I run xcin and
get this message:
XIM server) version 2.5.3-pre2.
(module ver: 20010918, syscin ver: 20000210).
(use "-h" option for help)
xcin: locale "zh_TW.Big5" encoding "big5"
xcin: XIM server "xcin" transport "X/"
^^^^^^
xcin: inp_styles: Root OverTheSpot
So on my system, the XIM server name of xcin is "xcin".
After you starting xcin, you need to run a XIM client
(like 'rxvt'or 'testprog') to try it.
If you push Shift+Ctrl keys and see the chinese words in the status window
be changed, it means xcin works correctly.

So it seems to not a problem of XIM server name.
