I have a problem with an X program crashing.  Here's my setup:
	X11R4 Server - patchlevel 14 (fix-14)
	X11R4 Compiled program
	Sun 3/60 Under SunOS 4.1

I get the following stack dump:
malloc(0x1ff4) at 0x299e
Xpermalloc(0x10) at 0xdd92867
XrmStringToQuark(0xdffd2d4) at 0xdd9299f
XrmStringToBindingQuarkList(0xdffda28, 0xdffd888, 0xdffd6f8) at 0xdda773b
PutLineResources(0xdffedcc, 0xdd34478, 0xef86c) at 0xdda8ce7
XrmGetFileDatabase(0xdfff008) at 0xdda8e51
.
. (non-X stuff deleted)
.
Is this a problem with X11R4?  This application was originally written for
X11R3, so that might be the problem.  I have looked through the X 
documentation, and there doesn't seem to be anything that would indicate 
a problem.  The call to XrmGetFileDatabase is the reading in of a large 
file with long font names ie: *Courier-Medium-O-Normal-*-8-*.  Who could 
I call to additional information/help?  Any help would greatly be appreciated.
