no idea how to reproduce
i doubdt that redownloading from ncbi will help
rather you should recompile
get the source
setenv ACEDB_MACHINE ALPHA_4_OPT
make tace xace
(you may want to do
ln -s wmake/makefile makefile
)
run all these commands from the directory just above w1 w2 w3 w4 ..
i suspect a library problem with X11 rather than a genuine acedb crash
