Yes, I have just done a new trial, it is a reproducible case. If the
pasted string contains an accent, X crashes. I think your piont is what
a searched, a good repro scenario.
Should I open a bug in X? What component?

ok as it is not related to the crash, let's skip this.

Before script: http://paste.debian.net/1037969
After the script: http://paste.debian.net/1037970
After alt-ctrl-f1 then alt-f7 (black screen):
http://paste.debian.net/1037971
Note that when screen is black, when I re-run the script, the screen
becomes lighted immediately.

Many thanks. It would be easier than explaining the situation related to
brltty. We will need to do, but with a program it will me more
understandable for upstream.
