The following issue was reported as Debian Bug #342512 by Pascal Brisset pascal.brisset@enac.fr. The issue still persists with 3.2.6a.

The following operations cause a crash:
- Create a text and edit it. Add enough chars to enable the horizontal
scrollbar.
- Move the mouse pointer on this scrollbar and press DEL key.

You get
xfig3.2.5-alpha5: SIGSEGV signal trapped
xfig: attempting to save figure
xfig: 1 object(s) saved in "/home/sepia/brisset/tmp/FIG/SAVE.fig"

gdb gives a bit more:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x400bb53a in XawTextSourceScan () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.6

    The issue can be avoided with commit [35899d] by applying Athena Translations only to the text widget, not to the scrollbar, Text.translations instead of Text*translations. The issue is also fixed upstreams in libxaw3d.
