  Yes, I have.

  I've only used twm on the pmax, although I have also run fvwm from
my amiga.  I haven't noticed any problems when using the amiga fvwm,
but then I haven't actually used it very much.

  Not at the moment.  I've tried looking at the core dump with gdb,
but it's trapping in the shared library and I can't look at any of
that from a coredump.  I've also tried running twm under gdb, but
gdb currently has problems with debugging in shared libraries (but
I have gotten some nasty hacks to gdb that make it work better).
I haven't tried a statically-linked twm yet - I hadn't thought about
it before now.
