I fixed the DECstation cut and paste coredump problem with xmosaic.  The
problem was that the x11r5 sources are compiled to find NLS files under
/mit/x11.  This is, of course, unacceptable, since /mit/x11 could be
anything.  I was having difficulty repeating the problem because I
usually have x11r5 attached, so the nls stuff was there.  The keysym
spews to stderr on startup were a result of the same type of problem.
The fix I made is to set the environment variables XNLSPATH and
XKEYSYMDB to the appropriate values in the xmosaic startup script.
