- there indeed is a bug with the shared libs (Xaw and Xt in particular) and
- i am in the process of trying out the fixes hlu has proposed. if they work
- then they will be released in x11v2.0. until that time, i'm afraid you will
- have to use -static. note that this bug is subtle and affects everything
- that uses Xaw (i.e. i've gotten xterm to dump core by doing a special rain
- dance...)
