Dunno if this applies but I had a problem with tvtwm under NetBSD 0.9.
It seems that the system macro processor, m4, will not take stuff on
stdin. If you have a version of tvtwm that uses m4 to preprocess the
system.twmrc then you will have problems. I ended up just disabling
the feature by putting the "-M" flag on my tvtwm command line. It
worked fine when I did this.
