I figured out that twm dumps core when it is restarted by xsm. I also learned that it's xsm that puts up the session dialog, and that "xsm -session Default" automatically starts the Default session eliminating the dialog. After twm dumped core, sometimes the Default session would remain locked, preventing me from logging in (since xsm couldn't open the Default session). Using the Fail Safe session always worked fine, but I hated having to select it everytime I logged in.
Anyway, I couldn't get xsm to automatically reload my Default session without having twm dump core, so I stopped using xsm all together. I simply have twm started by my ~/.xsession now (along with my favorite x commands) and things work fine.
If you have any advice on how to get xsm and twm to peacefully coexist, I'd appreciate it.

Is this actually twm as installed from the base X packages? Are you starting it from xdm(1) or startx(1)? What does your .xsession or .xinitrc look like? Does removing your personal .twmrc have any effect?
