Just a quick follow up to additional attempts to correct this problem.

Turns out my installed copy of GCC was a wee bit out of date.  One port 
revision back at most, but notable never the less.  So, I got real desperate 
here and did the following...

portupgrade gcc

Then pulled down a fresh cvsup of STABLE and rebuilt world.

Deleted both open-motif and nedit.

Ran the nedit portinstall, which brought in open-motif as a dependency all 
proper like.  Didn't fix a darn thing :(

Then I got to looking over Weston's list of apps also exhibiting this problem 
looking for what in the heck was common.  Only thing I could see was 
XFree86-libraries.  I'd recently updated mine via ports, so I decided to go 
pull down the package from one of the FreeBSD mirrors and try that instead.

Sure 'nuff!  I don't know what it is, but there is something seriously wrong 
with how those libraries are built from the ports tree.  NEdit now works 
properly.  JEdit no longer sees the same errors it was getting.  

The package I installed was: XFree86-libraries-4.2.1_1.tgz

Which appears to be the very same version I had installed from the port.  The 
package works, the port doesn't.

If time permits, I'll run a pkg_delete on the libraries and try the compile 
again.  Now that I got my editor back up and running, I gots to get some of 
my real work done! :)

Later on,
