BUG: xfig crashes when accessing any menu

[ejm@…]

Installed the xfig port, and the program launches. I can draw figures. However when I go to access a menu I get a crash. Here is the log

In fact, my problem seems to be exactly as described on the xfig FAQS page

​http://epb.lbl.gov/xfig/frm_faq.html

under the first item (which I am taking the liberty to copy and paste):

Problems when running xfig or TransFig (fig2dev)

   1.
      When I pull up a menu, xfig crashes

      POSSIBLE CAUSE:
          Your version of the 3D Athena Widget Set may be incompatible

      SOLUTION:
          If your vendor has installed the Xaw3D1.5E verison of the 3D Athena 
          Widget set but has called it Xaw3D, then it is incompatible with 
          xfig's menu widget. Fix this by uncommenting the #define XAW3D1_5E 
          line in the Imakefile and recompiling xfig. Be sure to do:

              xmkmf 
              make clean 
              make install

Duplicate of #12044, but thank you for showing us how to fix it.

Uncommenting #define XAW3D1_5E leads to problems for me:

We may need to try the more-complicated solution presented in #12044.
