Yes.

Hmmm. This is the error I get now too...

Drat. Actually, I think it must have been 0.18 when I wrote that
email. I upgraded xaw-wrappers around lunchtime today.

That's a good question. I haven't done this. This is basically a
vanilla Debian system. I haven't touched the permissions on any file as
of yet. 8(
In fact:
griffon:~> ls -l /usr/bin/X11/xload*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 9 13:39
/usr/bin/X11/xload -> /usr/lib/xaw-wrappers/wrapper
-rws--x--x 1 root root 8656 Jan 12 01:55
/usr/bin/X11/xload.real

Why is xload.real mode set to 4711?
Weird.
