Is anybody else having problems with the latest version of Xfig2?
When I start it, all (or most) of the windows are created but then
it exits with the following messages:

Initializing FIG v2.0 Protocol v1.4X (X11 patchlevel 3) ... 
X Error of failed request:  BadGC (invalid GC parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  60 (X_FreeGC)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x60024c
  Serial number of failed request:  733
  Current serial number in output stream:  1503

Sometimes it exits under the same circumstances with other strange
error messages including (but not limited to):

X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  66 (X_PolySegment)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x700229
  Serial number of failed request:  733
  Current serial number in output stream:  1503

I am running an R3 based X-terminal (grey-scale HDS). Xfig2 is linked
with R4 (patchlevel 2) libraries. Any ideas?

			thanks,
