(x_append_glyph, x_append_composite_glyph) (x_produce_image_glyph, x_append_stretch_glyph): Accomodate to changes in struct glyph starting 1999-12-27. Some bit-fields of struct glyph were not set, which made glyphs unequal when compared with GLYPH_EQUAL_P. Redisplay outputs such glyphs, and flickering effects were the result. This also depended on the contents of memory returned by xmalloc. If flickering happens again, activate the code in clear_glyph_row that's in #if 0. If the flickering is gone with that, chances are that it is caused by something similar.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"
