Unrelated Motif annoyance

While we're talking about Motif et al., I have a minor annoyance with
Nedit running on Ubuntu 8.04LTS, that I think is Motif related.

When I start nedit from the command line and then open an "Open File"
dialog, a whole bunch of debugging information squirts out onto my
xterm window


    Name: FilterText
    Class: XmTextField
    Character '\57' not supported in font.  Discarded.


    Name: FilterText
    Class: XmTextField
    Character '\150' not supported in font.  Discarded.


    Name: FilterText
    Class: XmTextField
    Character '\157' not supported in font.  Discarded.
(and so forth)



The problem always happens the first time I open the dialog, but
intermittantly afterwards. The program doesn't crash, but the
behaviour is annoying, and I'm wondering if there's some kind of easy
fix.


I think I'm using a binary I downloaded from the website. Here's the
version info:

NEdit 5.5
Sep 30, 2004

     Built on: Linux, 486, GNU C
     Built at: Aug 17 2006, 21:44:42

       Visual: 32-bit TrueColor (ID 0x23)

Any help'd be appreciated.
