DDD 3.3.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) gets `Segmentation fault' signal

[Paul Billings]

Trying to install on Cygwin 1.3.10 (WinXP), so I have gathered the 
"prerequisites": XFree86, LessTif, and DDD.  XFree seems to work fine. 
For DDD, I did the standard
 ./configure
 make
 make install
 ddd
I get the segmentation fault immediately after clicking for XFree86 to 
create ddd's GUI (which does appear).  After a few seconds, the window 
closes automatically.

I initially installed the cygwin version of the lessTif libs, then tried 
building from source (with --enable-static).  After redoing configure on 
ddd each time, the segmentation fault was the same in each case.  

The only other thing I'm unsure about is indicated in the log below, and 
that's Xt11R6.  I don't know what it is exactly, and I don't see it 
anywhere on my machine after installing XFree86.  The other strange 
thing I just noticed was gdb 5.0 seems to be a GUI app (?).  This is not 
what I expected...  Attached is the log file.

I just tried using X-Win32 as the X server.  Starting ddd in the 
foreground seems successful.  No segfault, menus work, I get the Tip of 
the day, etc.  If I type "ddd &" at the prompt, I get the segfault. 
Incidentally, when using XFree86, I was typing "ddd" (foreground 
execution).  Actually, scratch that, ddd & with X-Win32 just worked now, 
so I've seen success and failure w/ background+xwin32.  I don't think 
I've seen it fail w/ foreground+xwin32.  If it shows the daily tip, it's OK.
