I can the confirm the segm. viol. inside XawPanedSetRefigureMode,
seen on Sun3/SunOS3.5 every time you try to enter a newsgroup.

Now comes the interesting part:
On Sun4/SunOS4.0.3 everything is fine, EXCEPT when you link things
statically (i.e. don't use shared libs).

Apparently shared libs not only save space but also make programs more
robust against addressing bugs...-:)
