Big thanks to Kevin, he was right. Upgrading to the newest lesstif and installing
the latest 1.2 shared library cleared up a host of crashes with nedit and it's now
a very useable editor.
Anybody else who cares about nedit or other Motif-based programs supported via
lesstif should download the latest source from
build and install. Its greatly improved since the version that's standard with the
YDL 1.1 release.
Thanks Kevin!
