xman core dumps with Segmentation violation for us.
We run Sun OS 3.5.1 on Sun 3's.
We have X11R3 with 9 fixes, and compiled it with GNU CC 1.34.
We have version 34 of the Toolkit library (it dumped also with version
33, but with a different calling sequence according to the core file).
Ex.: section 1 comes up first by default and we change to section 3.
We call up a manpage from section 3, then try to switch back to the
directory with the MIDDLE button. It segm. violates for sure.
It dies most often with the sequences (core file):
RedrawThumbs()
XtResizeWidget()
...
XtManageChildren()
XtManageChild()

or

DeleteBackwardWord()
...
XtDestroyWidget()
Phase2Destroy
ManpageButtonPress()

We have more than 800 manual pages in section 3. If we call up section
2 after section 1 and then section 3, it behaves well.

Thanks for any help.
