Bug#542396: xterm fails to start with some parameters
Package: xterm
Version: 244-2
Severity: normal
xterm stars fine without any parameters and with "-geometry 80x52",
but exits with "bus error" when started with "-geometry 98x34".
In fact, it seems that any width other than 80 or 132 causes it to crash.
Hmm ... no ... width of 120 seems to not crash it either.
Anyway, it shouldn't crash with any width...
While writing this, I also noticed that resizing xterm to certain
widths will crash it.
