I think that fortify_fail is called when a buffer overflow is
detected.  See http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening
There is a section referring to the *** buffer overflow detected ***
message.

It looks like a *printf call created a buffer overflow.

Apparently whatever is printing the backtrace does not have the
debuginfo available or chooses not to use it.  This make it hard to
tell which bit of xfig is broken.

Ubuntu has (or had) a way of loading debuginfo for a package.
