Linux / RHEL Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

Problem:

I tried to recover a file on (RHEL) just now, but when I tried to run nwrecover, I got:
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

and it seemed to hang. I ^c'd to get out of it. The X display in general is working fine; I'm not sure what's up w/this. Any thoughts? I was able to restore what was needed from thor using 'nwrecover -c <client>' as a workaround.

Solution:

You could also try running the non-gui "recover -s thor.whoi.edu". Hit questionmark in it for a list of commands (it's pretty simple and does everything nwrecover does).
