3.3.9-test1 crashes

[Jesse Zbikowski]

I built ddd 3.3.9-test1 on Mandrake Linux 2.4.22 and tried two
different debuggers: native gdb and arm-elf-gdb.  In both cases the
application froze when I tried to type a colon ':' in the gdb console
window.  I had to kill it with the window manager.  

I used lesstif-devel-0.93.94-1.i386.rpm for my Motif headers and
lesstif-0.93.94-1.i386.rpm for the library.  Session log and gdb
versions below.
