To subscribers of the xforms list from Christopher Sean Hilton <chris@vindaloo.com> :

I get a core dump using the convert option of fdesign 0.87. Here's a
sample session pardon the lines over 80 columns:

$ fdesign -convert foo.fd
Memory fault (core dumped)
$ gdb

The form is very simple. It's what you would get if you started
fdesign and then asked it to create a new form with no elements on
it. Here's the fdesign file.

----- foo.fd -----

----- End of file -----

This severely hinders my ability to use make to automatically
reconfigure my xforms based projects. I don't remember seeing this one
on this lists has it been fixed. Until it gets fixed I unfortunatly
have to roll back to xforms 0.81.
