Sunview problem with window_create

I'm having a problem with Sunview calls in a graphical application which
I'm modifying.  When I try to create a base frame with the command:

	Mainwin = window_create(NULL, FRAME, 0);

I get the following error message:

	signal SEGV (no mapping at the fault address) in "hash" hash_index

Doing a where in dbxtool yields this:

`hash`hash_index() at 0xf77164dc
hash_lookup() at 0xf7716300
symbol_lookup() at 0xf77185ac
name_quick_parse() at 0xf7717590
node_lookup_path() at 0xf7717af0
path_lookup() at 0xf7717b38
defaults_get_string() at 0xf7716dec
defaults_get_boolean() at 0xf7716870
tool_walkmenu() at 0xf7774874
frame_window_object() at 0xf775e53c
window_create() at 0xf77502c0

I don't have source for Sunview, so I don't know what the args are to all
these functions.  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get past this
error?  I am compiling the code on a Sun 4 under OS 4.0.3.
