Oh what fun.  After some head banging I did get xfig up and running
on a slowaris box.  Of course the slowaris box is remote so I've
got a much deeper appreciation of text tools again :-)

Anyway, I was able to trigger a fault in write_ellipse.  We're
doing an unaligned store.  I'm still investigating.
