I have this same problem with xjed.  Basically anything using the KDE
clipboard (konsole, klipper, ...) fails, while things that use Xt or GTK
(rxvt, sylpheed, ...) seem ok.

This sounds like the result of some kind of pointer/buffer confusion, at
least given four byte pointers...  It would be interesting if someone on
a 64 bit system could copy 7 or 8...

Yes.  In is not a problem.  Out is an annoyance.

The problem is definitely NOT slang.  If I run jed in a konsole window I
can cut and paste to my hearts content.  It's only when jed is feeding
the X clipboard that there seems to be an issue.

I also get these same errors.
