I am trying to get the XDITVIEW program to work.  I installed the 
"devX75" font directory in /usr/lib/font on my machine (after 
doing a makedev for the fonts).  Now whenever I run ditroff with the
new X font package, it dies like so: 

ditroff -TX75 -man ./ls.1v > foo
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


(I did a "trace" and that is outlined below...)

what's up ?  Why does ditroff hate these new fonts ?  Was I supposed to 
do anything else ? There *is* a program called "xtotroff" but being 
troff-ignorant, I do not know what that is for...

PS: ditroff still works great for the postscript fonts like always....
