Help debugging xfig lockup?

[David Wolfskill]

The graphics/xfig port is an application I've used since ... well,
before FreeBSD (per se) existed.  (I was using it on a Sun 3/60 back
then....)

A few days ago, I happened to want to use it .... and I find that it
starts OK, but once a Drawing mode or an Editing action is selected, it
locks up -- no other selection appears to have an effect, and causing
the application to exit requires some "external assistance" (e.g., from
another xterm, "pkill xfig").

I confess that it has been a while since I previously had attempted to
use xfig, and one of the things that has occurred not too long before I
experienced the above is the event documented in ports/UPDATING entry
20130525: "xorg, including libraries and some drivers, was updated...."
(I cite this merely to recognize that it is a change that may be of
relevance; I have no evidence at all that there may be a causal
relationship between that event and the symptoms I described above.)

But debugging an X11 application is something that leaves me rather
wondering how to go about it.  Any clues?

I've set Reply-to, as I'm not subscribed to x11 at .

FWIW, my recent FreeBSD update history may be found at
<http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/history/laptop_i386_9.txt>;
today, it's:

FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #480  r251614M/251616:901504: Tue Jun 11 04:51:55 PDT 2013     root at g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

And (today) my ports tree is at r320544.

Thanks!

Peace,
david
