[Uim] uim + mozilla/firefox can crash X

Has anyone seen this:

1)- start X with uim.
2)- select 'input method' = 'direct'.
3)- start Mozilla (or Firefox).
4)- put the cursor in the Mozilla/Firefox address field.
5)- hit two keys at once (a sure-fire way is to hit A and CapsLock
    at once on a Western keyboard).
6)- after you've done 5) 2-3 times, CPU usage goes to 100%,
    and you can do nothing in X anymore.
7)- to get out of this: control-alt-F2, and killall mozilla-bin
    (or killall firefox-bin).

This bug 'works' with KDE, xfce4, icewm.

It happens only when uim is running. I have no idea why.

The problem is, of course, that people sometimes hit 2 keys at
once by mistake. So (provided people can reproduce this) it would
be nice if this bug were fixed.

Regards, Jan
