st: curious crash of linux xstata8

[Arnold Kester <arnold.kester@stat.unimaas.nl>]

Stata 8 (10 jan 2005) on red hat linux 7.1

I have repeatedly crashed xstata by starting xstata from an xterm,

then giving the stata command -cd driveD/data-
choose "search" from the help menu
type "foo" in the search text
enter to start search; the search says: "No search results found for "foo"
click OK
Crash; the xstata window disappears without a trace.

If I do anything between opening stata and the cd, the crash doesn't 
happen.

The crash is not specific to the search word(s), only to nothing being 
found.

The crash is not specific to the directory where I cd to.
