I just configured pcb  for lesstif with Ineiev's patch and got no crash.

It does -- sort of. 

The command

pcb -x eps --action-string 'DISPLAY(Value)' --eps-file foo.eps bar.pcb 

does indeed output a layout with values displayed, even if the last saved 
version of pcb showed refdeses. 

However, not all actions have the expected effect with the export eps 
export HID. For example, 
	--action-string 'SwapSides()' 
does not seem to change the output in any way. This particular action 
string option works fine if I present it to the GTK HID. My version of 
the patch showed the same room for improvement. Does the action itself 
know whether or not the current HID is a GUI?
