What were you trying to do?

Print a graph.

What's wrong:

xess segfaults when I try

This is reproduceable on all three supported platforms, and as a test account,
as follows:
  Open the file /mit/cfox/Public/print-stats.xs4
  Select "edit graph" or "view graph" from the graph menu, and bring up
  one of the two included graphs.
  Select either "print as" or "print".  (If you used print as, you get
  to specify a file before it crashes.

There's nothing very odd about that file; I imported tab separated
data, added column D in xess, and then made the graph from that.
Even when I lost my xess copy the first two times, recreating it from the
same data set produced a similairly unprintable file.

In the print to file option, you do get some postscript out.
