If you're in the debugger at this point, check for `(listp newprops)'
and that `(length newprops)' is even.  What's most likely happening is
that when `set-frame-properties' applies check-valid-plist to
`newprops' that error is thrown, which happens when the length of the
plist is odd.  If so, the problem is in the code that creates
`newprops'.

BTW, changing the code and redumping is probably the most efficient
way to put in the `(debug)'.  It shouldn't take very long, and I
believe 21.4 already had the configure --quick-build option which
prevents the build sytem from rebuilding Info files and the like.

I'm setting up XEmacs 21.4 for a build (on Mac, though, no NetBSD/
pkgsrc system available) now, maybe I can reproduce.
