I'm trying to get someone else's software to run on my machine, and the
trouble is it's silently dying before it does anything.  I've used
printfs to track the death down to a call to XOpenDisplay, during which
the application silently exits before the print statement following is
reached.  Furthermore, the display name being handed to it is perfectly
valid.  What on earth is going on?  Has anyone heard of such a bug?

Thanks in advance,
                                         ____
