 Log Message:
 The x11/Xaw3d library has an integer overflow error in the computation
 of the geometry for a Box Layout (file Box.c).  There, the box tries
 to extend its width until its height fits within the constraint height
 (influenced by the window manager).  Unfortunately, widths are 16bit
 unsigned and in the error case (occuring under KDE), the constraint
 width is 65535, i.e. maximal.
 The code loops until either the computed height is smaller than the
 constraint height or the width exceeds the constraint width.  In each
 loop iteration, the width of the box layout is doubled.  This loop
 does not terminate, if one chooses unfortunate initial width, as the
 width wraps around if it overflows 16 bits and if the maximal
 constraint width is SHORT_INT_MAX.
 Patch tries to capture the overflow before it wraps around the
 `width' variable, setting the width to the maximal one.
