Details:

Near the beginning of main.c in cnee, there is code to set the program name:

  /* Set the program name */
  xnee_set_program_name (xd, XNEE_CLI);

gnee does not have any similar logic, and as a result the program name is not
set.   When a file "save" operation is invoked, this results in a null pointer
being passed to printf.  On linux with glibc, this simply causes the line in
the output file to be:

ProjectCreationProgram:         (null)

But on other platforms (such as solaris) with less friendly implmentations of
printf, this causes a core dump.

I used the following patch to fix it:

diff -ur Xnee-2.01/gnee/src/main.c Xnee-2.01.new/gnee/src/main.c
