No, if you've seen it occur in 4.2.1-6, that's good enough for me.

I would ask that you attempt to reproduce it in 4.2.1-9, however.

Okay.  That sounds like a client-side rendering problem, then.  Please
feel free to remove the "NoAccel" line from your XF86Config-4.

What font are you using with that xterm?  It doesn't look like one of
the xterm defaults.

Thanks for following up so quickly.
