Re: weird xterm crashes

Just recently xterm has started crashing when I view certain emails.
I notice that all of these messages have a non-ascii character (or
more) in them. Not all non-ascii messages cause a crash, though.
(Interesting, I just tried to read uxterm(1) (with PAGER=less) and
xterm crashes) This occurs with both the testing and unstable xterms.
If I run xterm from another xterm, I see the following output right
before the crash :
xterm: warning, error event received:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 77 (X_ImageText16)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 300
Current serial number in output stream: 305
That brings up a point: how is one supposed to go from this message to
solving a problem. IM I know what it says, but what is next?
I get an Fvwm wharf crash sometimes when I Alt+Ctrl+Fx away or to X. Now
what? Like this:
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea)
Resource id in failed request: 0x1a00006
Serial number of failed request: 11431
Current serial number in output stream: 11434
Who was that?
Hugo.
I haven't changed anything recently, that I know of. I decided to try
uxterm, since my locale is en_US.UTF-8, and it does not crash. Why?
I also tried 'xterm -u8' and 'xterm +u8' both of which crash. I also
have XTerm*utf8:1 in my X resources. I've been using xterm (not
uxterm) in UTF-8 mode for months now with no problem.
TIA,
