Yeah, I don't think the X server reacts with the appropriate level of
scorn when the system clock tells it that time is running backwards.
This isn't an xterm bug. It's an X server bug. It's also been fixed in
XFree86 CVS.

338. Modified GetTimeInMillis() to handle non monotonous system

Thanks for the report.
