Just to close the loop here, we found that Andy's problem was that he
had tried to customize the XBoard*initString resource in his
.Xdefaults file, but made a syntax error.  Everything works fine for
him now.  

There is no connection between this and the various problems other
people have had.  More on those in later messages.
