Bug#173071: Pasting text with NULL character crashes
Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-4
xterm crashes when you try to paste into it a string which contains a
NULL octet at its end. This is not a normal situation and it wouldn't
be reproduced if not for a KHTML bug (a bug would be filled against
KHTML as well).
This bug can be reproduced with the Konqueror web browser, when you
right-click a link and select 'Copy Link Location'.
At this point, clicking the middle button in xterm (to paste the
selection) would cause it to crash.
