It seems to be related to typing into a text widget.  In xterm it dies,
and in xfig it dies when typing into the change-object menu text widgets.
Again, Vaxstation II Xqvss, gcc1.36, Ultrix 3.0, X11R4-PL12.
It works fine on a 4/280 under SunOs 4.1 with cc and, as several other
people have noted, on other suns.  

Please help. I will have to back out patch 12 until it is determined
what the problem is.
Thanks for any help.

Here again is the procedure where the death occurs (bus error):
