XGRASS problem

Dear grass users and programmers:

There is a question posted earlier this week about XGRASS session setup window.
I have the same problem in my system (USL UNIX SVR4.2). Basically, I cannot
type in any string of characters in any of the fields of "Add New Session"
window.
However, I does not get the core dump. The program is just not accept any input
from the keyboard.

By the way, in my compilation the variable retBuf[256] in xc.name.c is defined
as static char. Furthermore, the file $GISBASE/etc/databases and the files
underuse xgdatabases command the problem may be walked around. But anyone knows
how
to solve it? Thank you for any information that may help.
