+Patch 7.2.017
+Problem:    strlen() used on text that may not end in a NUL. (Dominique Pelle)
+	    Pasting a very big selection doesn't work.
+Solution:   Use the length passed to the XtSelectionCallbackProc() function.
+	    After getting the SelectionNotify event continue dispatching
+	    events until the callback is actually called.  Also dispatch the
+	    PropertyNotify event.
