Well, that's encouraging, anyway.  Thanks for the Open Motif
suggestion.  After giving up the last time, I conducted a quick survey
of irc developers on channels such as #mozilla and got a series of
negative responses.  That, the web site, and the zero responses on
ddd-bug-list gave me little hope.

I might give debugging it a try.  I have tried the motif libraries
that come with redhat and the latest lesstif.  I'll try Open Motif.  I
have the latest GCC and libc, which might be causing problems as
well.

Which versions of ddd, gcc, and Open Motif are you using?

My original goal was to debug mozilla from cvs with ddd.  Anyone on
this list using DDD for that purpose?
