running gftp remotely crashes Xwin

[Scott I. Remick]

I have a reproducable error that I just discovered. I run Cygwin on a
Win2000 system and connect to my FreeBSD 5.1 system at home over SSH v2
tunnelling. I run X apps remotely using Xwin -multiwindow. For the most
part, things have worked great.

I just tried running gftp (2.0.14 installed from the FreeBSD ports system)
and found that as soon as I try to initiate a transfer, Xwin will crash on
my local system. I realize this is a bit obscure, so if no one else has
experienced this I understand, but can I do anything to help you track down
the cause?
