Hello, Bruce...

Sorry I've been so slow to respond; it took me a while to get back to
this.

Running the editres from the build tree
(/mit/x11/build/sun4/clients/editres) under gdb, I get the `slightly
wrong' text you can see in ~yandros/tmp/editres.xwd.  If I use this
client to try to connect (Get Widget Tree) to either the normal xload
or the xcalc from the x11r5 locker
(/mit/x11/build/sun4/clients/xcalc), editres gets a segv in _doprnt:

  (gdb) run
  
  Program received signal SIGSEGV (11), Segmentation fault
  0xef7349ac in _doprnt ()
  (gdb) where
  #0  0xef7349ac in _doprnt ()
  #1  0xef736f74 in sprintf ()
  #2  0x1f608 in TellUserAboutMessage ()
  #3  0x1f548 in SetCommand ()
  #4  0x20e50 in SendTree ()
  #5  0x435a4 in XtCallCallbacks ()
  #6  0x3cbe0 in Notify ()
  #7  0x2e7b0 in Notify ()
  #8  0x656f4 in HandleActions ()
  #9  0x65bec in HandleSimpleState ()
  #10 0x6610c in _XtTranslateEvent ()
  #11 0x4b770 in DispatchEvent ()
  #12 0x4bd54 in DecideToDispatch ()
  #13 0x4be00 in XtDispatchEvent ()
  #14 0x4c0bc in XtAppMainLoop ()
  #15 0x20520 in main ()
  (gdb) list
  ./libgcc2.c:1: No such file or directory.

I didn't follow it any farther than this.  A coredump of editres is
available in ~yandros/tmp/core.editres.sun4.  Please let me know once
you've copied these someplace reliable (~yandros/tmp is in the zone
cell).

I just asked Calvin to try this on hodge (DS3100), and it seemed to
work fine for him, so if you still can't make this happen, I'll try to
reproduce it in person...
