That was my first thought for XEmacs, so I recompiled it.  otool showed 
it was pulling in the libX11 from /opt/X11/lib.  I will reinstall the 
beta2 later today to see if I can get more debug information.  Are there 
any things I should look for?  As I said earlier, the failure did not 
cause a crash report, and I cannot be sure whether the failure was in 
XEmacs or an X-lib dylib with which it links.  As for the email program 
crash, its report was not helpful.  I will need to recompile it with 
debugging turned on to see exactly what function failed.
