+Subject: [PATCH] imDefLkup: verify that a pointer isn't NULL before using it
+
+It is possible for _XimICOfXICID() to return NULL, so it is necessary
+to check this isn't actually the case before dereferencing the pointer.
+All other callers of _XimICOfXICID() do this check too.
+
+(The check itself is ugly, but it follows the style of the code in the
+rest of the module.)
+
+Fixes issue #45.
