xterm: Error 14, errno 13: Permission denied

[Lee Bradshaw <lee@sectionIV.com>]

I've upgraded several systems from slink to potato using a mirror I
made a few weeks ago. On some of the systems xterm works fine, but on
others it generates the error message:

  xterm: Error 14, errno 13: Permission denied

rxvt works fine and seems to have the same permissions as xterm:

  -rwxr-sr-x    1 root     utmp        81616 Mar 18 12:40 /usr/X11R6/bin/rxvt-xterm*
  -rwxr-sr-x    1 root     utmp       161680 Mar 13 22:07 /usr/bin/X11/xterm*

I'm using xterm 3.3.6-6 which seems to be the latest available. I
can't "strace xterm", and I'm not sure what to look at without more
information than I see in the error message. Anyone else have any
ideas?
