Bug#350155: xterm: crash with non-ascii characters
Package: xterm
Version: 208-3.1
Severity: important
Hello,
With up-to-date sid systems xterm has recently started crashing with
error:
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: 293923
Current serial number in output stream: 293923
Major opcode is always the same. I first noticed this when opening
a message on debian-devel with mutt:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/01/msg01482.html
The problem goes away if I set LC_ALL to "C".
