Um..., great!  But..., I wasn't *just* trying to get a shared build, or
*just* trying to fix mwm's Close bug.  At least with your new static lib
build (lesstif-0.93.91-2), none of our apps work anymore.  They all die
with error messages like I quoted below.

Any chance you/Nicholas did something to fix these too?  Any chance of
previewing that package to see if it WFU (that would be "Works For Us")
:)?

BTW, I still can't reproduct the Close bug because I still can't get mwm
to let me move a window, or pop up a menu from the title bar.  This is
strange because it happens to me with stock lesstif/XFree86 on both NT4
and XP.  I guess nobody else see this?

This happens with your stock lesstif-0.93.91-2 package.

And then the app dies.
