  Doctor, doctor!  It dumps core if I compile without -g.
  So don't do that.

No, I do not find that a satisfactory answer either.

FreeImage() calls XDestroyImage(), so I guess I can claim that the bug
is in the AIX xlib.  Is the bug specific to particular fax images or
does it always happen (with the help page, for instance)?  Do you have
a tool like purify or the bound-checking version of gcc installed?

Need to reproduce it first.
