Package: xterm
Version: 232-1
Severity: important
xterm, run with whatever arguments, exits with a segfault before bringing up a window. I've graded this as important rather than anything higher because it may work on other X servers, especially based on the gdb output.
The relevant part of the gdb backtrace from the point of segfault;
#0 0xb7d1eeef in XFindOnExtensionList () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6
#1 0xb7d16573 in _XF86BigfontFreeFontMetrics () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6
#2 0xb7d1665c in XFreeFont () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6
