I got it compiled from the same sources as the Linux version without
any problems (at least 0.81 version).

I run it on 2.0.5 and -current. It works fine with xforms 0.75 but
dumps core with xforms 0.81. Xforms for PERL do the same thing with 
0.81 so I think the problem is in this version of xforms.
