   I built/ported xview3.0 to netbsd 0.9 (xview3.2 is next!) and have
   the same problem.  Copying in a cmdtool/shelltool doesn't seem to set the
   selection properly and pasting therefore seems to get a corrupted attribute
   list (a traceback on the dead cmdtool reveals that it dies in attr_count
   in attr.c, but I haven't yet built libxview

Strange, is all I can say!  It works fine under FreeBSD, shared or static..

It could be the way you've configured it somehow..  You can always pick up
our port of it in freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/xview
and compare notes..
