Prof. Ripley replaced that NULL with dsp -- p is normally the same. It's in
svn (r43300 on he trunk, r43301 on R-2-6-branch).
It built without a hitch, and the fix solves my problem.
P. Dalgaard also pinpointed the problem. And confirmed Xt was involved :-)
Apparently an XOpenDisplay on the specified display may be followed by an
XtOpenDisplay, previously on the default display.
Thanks to everyone who helped figure this out and fix the problem!
