XTerm 4.0.1b(144) segfault with ssh -v and sudo

[Tommi Virtanen <tv@debian.org>]

	I can make xterm segfault reproducibly 
	on Debian GNU/Linux woody (unstable).

[tv@hq ~/tmp/x]$ ./xterm -version
XFree86 4.0.1b(144)

	If I start an xterm, ssh -v remotehost,
	and run sudo there, so that sudo prompts
	for a password, the local xterm segfaults.
	This only happens with ssh -v, which is
	weird, and needs a specific version of 
	_something_ in the remote end -- a bit
	under-updated Debian 2.2 (potato) seems
	to cause it, the newer unstable woody 
	doesn't.

crashes:
sudo 1.6.2p2
OpenSSH 1.2.3

doesn't crash:
sudo 1.6.3p5
OpenSSH 2.1.1p4

	Here's the end of strace

select(4, [3], [], [], {0, 0})          = 0 (Timeout)
read(4, "Password:\0", 4096)            = 10
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---

	And ltrace:

memcpy(0x40302548, "Password:", 9)                = 0x40302548
memset(0x40302598, '\200', 9)                     = 0x40302598
memset(0x403025e8, '\000', 9)                     = 0x403025e8
memset(0x40302638, '\000', 9)                     = 0x40302638
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---

	Here's a backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

	Do tell if I can help you any more. I speak
	C well enough and can manage my way with the
	debugger.
