Bug#675433: xterm: terminal bell randomly stops and requires a reboot to get back

[David Griffith <dave@661.org>]

Package: xterm
Version: 278-1
Severity: normal

After a normal bootup, the terminal bell with Xterm works as expected.  
After some time it stops.  This happens with RXVT, Gnome Terminal, and 
XFCE Terminal.  The problem does not appear to be related to starting or 
stopping any sort of audio-using program.  While this isn't a 
showstopping bug, I feel it must definitely be cured before declaring 
Wheezy ready for promotion to Stable.
