crash on startup -- Solaris 9

[Ben FrantzDale]

When anyone on our system runs ddd, it crashes after showing the splash
screen, but before showing any other windows.

[ben@turing~]$ ddd --check-configuration
Checking for X11 library directory... (not found)
Checking for XKeysymDB... /usr/local/X11R6.4/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
No configuration problems found.

Running it under GDB produces the following stack trace:

It looks like it dies as it creates its menus. The line in question, 652,
is this:
Widget menu = verify(XmCreatePulldownMenu(parent, name, args, arg));
