I am running Digital Unix 4.0b on my workstation and have been for a few
months. I applied Jumbo patch 5 and its supplemental patch 4-5 weeks ago. I
just terminated my dxsession and logged back in again yesterday (the first time
I had done so in several weeks). All of a sudden, /usr/bin/X11/dxcalendar will
not run for me as it used to. It *will* run as root on my workstation, and it
*will* run as my unprivileged user *if* I run it under the control of the
System V program /usr/opt/svr4/bin/truss, but it dies with a segmentation fault
whenever I try to invoke it directly. I tried copying my .dxcalendar.dwc to
another Digital Unix 4.0b system and running it there as my unprivileged user
and it works fine there, so I assume that my .dxcalendar.dwc file is not
corrpupted. Unfortunately, since it runs successfully under the control of
truss, it has made it difficult for me to try to determine why it is crashing.
Folowing is the fairly uninformative (to me) feedback from examining the core
file with dbx:
Core file created by program "dxcalendar"
warning: /usr/bin/X11/dxcalendar has no symbol table -- very little is
supported without it

My other X applications seem to be working without any problems. Does anybody
have any ideas what's wrong, or at least how to get more useful information
about the problem? Thanks in advance.
