That's unfortunate, since it'll be nearly impossible to guess what

Hm. Odd.

I don't know if it does... But I'll give you the patch here that
fixes the coredump that I mentioned, which may or may not help you.
The change is pretty small and it shouldn't hurt at all.
Otherwise, you might want to pick up the latest 2.xx beta (2.0.42,
with 2.0.43 out shortly and the first official release 2.1.0 out
hopefully soon after that) and give it a try (see
http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/
for info).
