Sure, I don't see that this as a big problem. Anyway, I tried it with
two different motif version. The first one is Open Motif 2.1.30 and
the second one is Metro Link Motif 1.2 (a commercial product). I bring
this issue only as an additional argument that the cause of the crash
may be inside emacs.
