The way to debug this would be to link xmcd with a debug version of
lesstif (compiled with -g), then run it under gdb. You need to be adept
at debugging C source, and have a copy of lesstif sources to work with.
Not for the faint of heart...
If someone is willing to do this and find the bug in lesstif (and fix it),
I am sure the lesstif people will be grateful. There is a lesstif mailing
list that you can submit bug reports/fixes to:
lesstif@hungry.com
Meanwhile, use my xmcd+Motif binaries to avoid the problem.
