Unable to read configuration files xmgrace and nedit

Hello,
Recently when starting nedit or xmgrace (N.B. both use motif/lesstiff) I 
now get
a flurry of messages of the form:

Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name:  osfActivate
Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfActivate:        
ManagerParentActivate()'
Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name:  osfBeginLine
...

What generates these messages? What are the relevant files? Nedit is 
broken as a result
and cannot be used.

I have been updating the cygwin installation on a regular basis, but 
these messages has just
recently appeared

I reinstalled the Cygwin lesstif, xmgrace, and nedit packages to no avail.

Next I rebuilt nedit from source code. It runs without generating these 
messages,
but now I get a warning that I have built the program using an unstable 
motif version
i.e. the current cygwin  lesstif package...

Solutions?

Thanks.

Charles
