Hmm, looks indeed as if it was related to reading the font file.
The difference to my setup is that you're using the `real'
Adobe times, and I'm using the free URW replacement. Do you
get the same result with the URW font?

What's the output of

$ gdb xdvi-motif.bin core
gdb> backtrace

?

Best,
Stefan
