Bug#459041: xterm: version 230-1 segfaults somewhere when involving cut and paste
Package: xterm
Version: 230-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Cutting text somewhere in an xterm causes it to segfault with the most
recent upgrade. It may involve either the cut or paste of long lines.
I'm pretty sure it happens as soon as I click the mouse to make a
selection, and can happen after a successful cut and paste or two.
I haven't yet restarted X, but that's not going to cause a dynamic
library inconsistency problem.
