|FYI, I got the same version of xrn from the same place (Stanford and Berkeley

	I tried the same thing a few days ago, but xrn keeps exiting
	with malloc and calloc errors. 
	It seems to be a problem in the X11R4 libraries. The [cm]alloc 
	was passed incorrect (==0) parameters, no memory shortages here.
	Do I need to apply any patches to X11R4 before this stuff runs
	reliably? And if so, where can I get them? 
	And what about Motif 1.x? Is it publicly available somewhere?
