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.
