Ok, I downloaded NetBSD-current/xsrc/xc/programs/twm/*
then 

xmkmf

then edited the Makefile to get rid of the -lgnumalloc part of the EXTRALIBS
line.  then 

make

The resulting twm seems fine.  closing a window (which usually immediately killed 
twm) seems ok now. 

Not to ask a silly question, but is this like when I work on my car and
have left over parts?  Anyway, I'll stick it on the net if anyone else wants
it.  It will be at http://www.mit.edu/~mcmahill/NetBSD/

Don't know how long I'll leave it there as my disk quote is pretty small.  I guess
until I need the space.
