xfs quits with malloc error
xfs quits with malloc error

I have recently switched my development environment
from a SGI base to OSX and have installed Apples' X11 server.
I have also used fink to download and install qt3. All has gone
quite well until I started the X11 app included with Qt called
"designer". The app started but there were no fonts displayed.
All characters appeared as 'quads'. After fiddling around
for a while I started designer and supplied an explicit fn.
This worked. So I assumed something was wrong with xfs.
After checking with xfslsfonts, I found that no xfs server
was running.
I tried to start xfs and it failed complaining of (bad font
path descriptor) for each of the entries in the catalogue
field of the standard X11/fs/config file.
I'm not sure what font the Qt apps are looking for and
I'm not sure how I might substitute an installed font for
the requested one.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have included the output from my xfs attempts below
sudo xfs
