Well, the error seems to be occurring in the X library itself, which we
can't do much about, I'm afraid.  You might try to find a more recent
version of DDD (3.3.11 was the last release) or of the Motif (Lesstif)
library.

I've never used DDD under cygwin, and I don't know what fonts are
available there.  What fonts are you actually using?  For example, grep
Fonts ~/.ddd/init gives for me:

! Fonts.
Ddd*defaultFont: helvetica-bold
Ddd*variableWidthFont: helvetica-bold
Ddd*fixedWidthFont: lucidatypewriter-bold
Ddd*dataFont: lucidatypewriter-bold
Ddd*FontSize: 180
