In the last year, the main reason for previous DDD crashes was the
LessTif library.  It has evolved a lot since then and (as far as I can
see) is often more stable then its Motif counterpart.  I'd recommend
to get the latest Lesstif release and build/link DDD with it (either
DDD 3.2.1 or DDD 3.3, which will be available in a few days.)

Best wishes,

Andreas
