Maybe it's related to the newer libxpm used there? Binary release of
libxforms 0.88b is compiled with libxpm 3.4g, RedHat 6.0 has a far more
recent one....

Mathed uses libxpm directly and at the same time indirectly through
libxforms, where the old version is compiled into the binary release.
[Correct me, if I'm wrong here!]

This might cause the crash. Since using 'Xpm34i.zip' instead of
'xpm34k.zip' stability seems to have improved on my box. 

BTW: Shigeru and others! Could you offer the header for xpm 3.4g? It's
missing in 'bxform088b.zip', so I cannot use the included Xpm.a 
($XpmVersion: 3.4g $$Id: xpm.shar,v 3.52 95/10/09 02:23:53 lehors Exp
$)
for statical linking.
