Bugzilla Bug   1389

Joerg Fischer wrote in the NEdit development list <develop@nedit.org>:

I updated my system recently to SUSE 10.2 that comes with openmotif
2.3.0 beta2.  Since I'm too lazy to build from sources, I checked the
2.3.0 release notes, and it seemed that beta2 is identical with the
final release.

Unfortunately, a middle click on a tab (on the tab bar) lets nedit
segfault.  I'm certain this didn't happen with 2.2.3.  Could someone
please check this.  The snapshot I have isn't too old:

Fixed as proposed.
