Details:

resource_buildDatabase destroys XtDatabase(display), but calls
XtResolvePathname before that is set to an proper value only
after the routine returns. This can cause a segmentation fault.

This bug was found by Paul Kimoto, see http://bugs.debian.org/439067 for more
history.

Attached is a patch that should fix the problem.
