I have spent the last couple of hours installing xrn under X11R4 on
a sun sparc station 1+ running OS 4.1 . When running xrn, it comes
up with the main interface that lets you select newsgroups etc. As
soon as I want to read any of the news groups, xrn crashes on a SEGV
signal in function XrmStringToQuark which is in libX11, whatever
XrmStringToQurak accomplishes.

It does not seem to be possible to debug xrn further than XtMainLoop
without having to recompile XrmStringToQuark with the debug option set 
and trying to figure out what is going wrong. I would like to avoid
this time consuming process (loading source etc. etc.)

Is there anyone out there running xrn and has encountered similar problems ?
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
