By default, the dot layout places connected components side by side. If 
you have a version of dot
later than 27 March 2014, you can use the pack and packmode attributes 
to specify a different way
of positioning the components. (If you only have an earlier version, you 
can get the same effect by
running

     ccomps -x inbox.dot | dot | gvpack | neato -n2 -Tsvg > inbox.svg

There are flags to the gvpack command that take the place of the pack 
and packmode attributes.)

One small technical point: when you say "dotty", are you referring to 
the dotty viewer or the dot
layout program? In any case, if you are getting a segfault, please 
submit a bug report. Thanks.
