Well, perhaps things have changed in the months since I got xdvi, but
when I got it, I noticed that the patchlevel.h in xdvi.shar.Z
indicated that the patches on export.lcs.mit.edu had *not* been
applied to it.  So I retrieved all the xdvi.patch*.Z files I could
find (I think there were only two), applied them, and successfully
compiled xdvi.
