Sure, we know that. The question is why xterm manages to write such an entry,
and rxvt fails. Both have identical modes:

edd@miles:~> ls -lL /usr/bin/X11/{xterm,rxvt}
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root        59420 Apr 20 15:06 /usr/bin/X11/rxvt
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root       145856 Jun 20 10:45 /usr/bin/X11/xterm    

and both are linked against libc5:

edd@miles:~> ldd /usr/bin/X11/{xterm,rxvt}
/usr/bin/X11/xterm:
