I am experiancing a series of random aborts using Motif.  These appear
to be related to the use of XtDestroyWidget on dialog boxes (dialog
shell parent of bulletin board parent of many XmText widgets).  At some
point in the session, the application will abort (segmentation
violation); this problem is avoided if my dialog boxes are merely
unmanaged instead of destroyed.  I suspect that XtDestroyWidget, or the
XmText or XmBulletinBoard destroy methods are doing something nasty to
memory.  Are there any known problems of this sort?   I am new to USENET
(and Motif), so my pardon if I am rehashing an old topic.
