I've been having problems with applications compiled on a Sequent Symmetry 
which use the toolkit and Athena widgets on a variety of servers, both R2 
and R3.  For example, xmh dumps core with a seqmentation fault when it tries
to highlight command buttons.  This seems to happen more often when running
twm.  Other applications exhibit the same behavior.  dbx stack trace shows
it performing a malloc when it dies.  Is there something wrong with Sequent's
malloc, the toolkit, or something else?  Any thoughts would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
