Bug#319822: xterm dies upon opening some programs
Package: xterm
Version: 226-1
Followup-For: Bug #319822
Hello,
I think I can confirm this bug. (I am not sure it is the same, but I think so).
Sometimes, xterm dies when I open a program, for instance when I start "man useradd", "bitchx" or other programs. aterm does not seem to be effected.
When starting xterm from an other terminal and typing something simple like man useradd, the xterm dies and I get the following error message in my first terminal:
$ xterm
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: 260
Current serial number in output stream: 305
I do not think to have done anything special since the last updates.
Best regards,
Dirk
