Oh, indeed. But neither does the Archlinux bug report, it only mentions
the dreadful "X Error of failed request" which aborts xterm. And I
could reproduce that with xterm 338 trough 340, but not your segfault.

If you still get a segfault in xterm 341 (uploaded today), please tell
me and I will unmerge and reopen your bug.
