Just found a month-old core dump for nxterm in my home directory. System had then been up for about 50 days (now 85); I have no idea what caused it. Redhat 6.1 system with XFree86-3.3.3.1-49, here's uname -a: Linux crypt.compulink.co.uk 2.2.5-16 #1 Sun May 30 23:00:18 BST 1999 i686 unknown gdb gives this stacktrace: Core was generated by `/usr/bin/X11/nxterm'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. (gdb) where #0 0x804ce97 in strcpy () #1 0x1d in ??

Should be fixed in the current release. This bug should have been closed long ago.. slipped threw the cracks I guess. Please upgrade to the latest release.
