Interesting.

Could you repeat this process with the following modifications?

1) Install the debugging versions of the X libraries xterm uses.

Since xterm depends on: xlibs-data, libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libexpat1 (>=
1.95.6), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.2.1), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libice6 |
xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libncurses5 (>= 5.4-1), libsm6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0),
libxaw7 (>> 4.1.0), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxft2 (>> 2.1.1),
libxmu6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxpm4 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxrender1, libxt6
| xlibs (>> 4.1.0)

...this would be:
libice6-dbg libsm6-dbg libxaw7-dbg libxext6-dbg libxmu6-dbg libxpm4-dbg
libxrender1-dbg libxt6-dbg

2) Run xterm with LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment.  You may have to run
xterm as root for this to work, as I think observance of this variable
might be suppressed for setuid and setgid programs (xterm is setgid utmp).

3) Use "bt full" instead of just "bt".

This might be enough information for us to figure out where to look in the
libraries for this problem.

Thank you *very* much for your followup and assistance!
