[Xquartz-dev] 2.4.0 crash with xfig

[Viv Kendon]

Done, #301.

1.4.2-apple47 also crashes the same way.  Actually, the 
second time anything is selected from the xfig file menu 
probably crashes it, but I haven't done extensive tests. 
Somehow, I only seem to use xfig when I have the most 
horrendous deadlines coming up :(
