uim-xim bombs out in free() (and the uim version is old.)

[moof]

uim-xim, part of the uim package, has a nasty tendency to bomb out in free:

I'd note that the version of uim in hardy, 1.4.1, is relatively ancient; http://code.google.com/p/uim/ indicates 1.5.1 is now out. It'd probably be far easier to just upgrade the package than to try and figure out what's going on in 1.4.1.

Hardy is no longer supported, and I’m pretty sure this was fixed a long time ago.
