  I have found one thing that affects running mozilla-export:  I just
updated to libX11.so.6.1, libXext.so.6.3, and libICE.so.6.3;  now
mozilla-export gets a segmentation fault before it even opens a window.
[The original versions of these libraries I was using were 6.0.]  Backing
up to the the old libX11.so.6.0 gets it working again.

  It would appear that the problem would be associated with libX11.so.6.3.
The original problem that Dave Huang [who made the mozilla-netbsd-m68k]
reported on port-m68k was a code generation bug in libX11.a when using
-O2 optimization.  Looking at the same area with libX11.so.6.3 looks
like it was compiled with -O, so it's not the same exact problem.  I
am unable to get any information on where it's getting the segmentation
fault, so I don't know if the problem is a code generation bug in libX11
or something else.
