Bug#334505: Similar problem



Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem that results in the same error message, which might
be related. My xterm crashes when trying to display some UTF characters, with
the following error:
	xterm:  warning, error event received:
	X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
	Major opcode of failed request:  77 (X_ImageText16)
	Serial number of failed request:  338
	Current serial number in output stream:  339

This is easy to reproduce, try running this in xterm:
	echo -e "\0304\211"
which immediately crashes xterm.

If this also crashes your xterm, these issues might be related (or they might
still be something entirely different, of course).

Does your xterm / .profile / .bashrc or something else print stuff on startup?
Might it be that there is a weird character in such a message that throws off
xterm? Perhaps the message changes after the X server was started for some
time?

Gr.

Matthijs
