DDD dies on me (pt 2)

Thanks for the help.  I have managed to get XWin to crash in both places
again (which one happens is random, but these are the only 2).  I have
attached the log file from the modified program as well as a stack trace
from gdb for each one.  Given some proverbial free time, I will try to do
some more debugging.  FYI, this is just the CVS code.  I will go back to the
web and find the place where it tells me how to add the test code to the CVS
code and try that.  Also, though I mentioned it in the original thread, I am
not sure I reminded you in this thread that I was running ddd from a Linux
box (though that should not make a difference).
