Pretty sure that's not the problem...because when I run it with the default
LDRAW path (or with LDRAWDIR explicitly set to the right location) then it
chews away for varying amounts of time depending on which file it's asked to
display. And I can hear the hard drive slurping up all the parts files into
the filesystem cache. If I set LDRAWDIR to some non-existant foofoo
directory, then it doesn't chew away at all and finishes the (blank white)
display instantly.

You sent a cyl.dat file -- is that the one? That appears fully white too.

Built it per readme.txt with:
make -f makefile.linux
If it shipped with a precompiled ldglite executable, it got overwritten by
the linker.

Yup, I have that too! :)
$ ll /usr/local/ldraw/parts/4746.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38253 May 4 1997 /usr/local/ldraw/parts/4746.dat

Yup! :-)
$ LDRAWDIR=/usr/local/ldraw
$ export LDRAWDIR
$ env | grep LDRAW
LDRAWDIR=/usr/local/ldraw

Hmm, looks like there is at least an attempt to write "can't find file"
warnings in lex.yy.c and ldlite.l... Looks like these call a function
zWrite in stub.c, which calls a function platform_comment in main.c, which
has . . . . hmm, a commented-out printf! :)

I'll buy that for a dollar! :) Putting the printf back in and recompiling,
things seem a tiny bit more sane, but it still of course gives a pure white
display window...

comment Official LCad update 98-10
And the results of the commands below look encouraging:
$ wc M6067.DAT
213 3159 9966 M6067.DAT
$ ./ldglite M6067.DAT | wc
10601 46210 326830
IOW, it succeeded in expanding parts in a good way, and spit out lots of
diagnostic/comment output.
