Description James Thorne 2008-02-29 11:12:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

Installing the latest update for xterm (232-1.fc8) causes xterm to seg fault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

232-1.fc8

How reproducible:

Every time it's installed on both mine and my colleague's machines, either as
root or a normal user.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update xterm to 232-1.fc8:
# yum update xterm

2. Run xterm:
# xterm
Segmentation fault
  
Actual results:

Segmentation fault

Expected results:
xterm runs OK

Additional info:

Backing out to the previous version (229-2.fc8) fixes the problem:

# yum remove xterm
# yum install xterm-229-2.fc8
# xterm
(xterm runs OK)

Can you please try xterm-233-1.fc9 from rawhide?

Comment 3 James Thorne 2008-02-29 11:40:25 UTC 
The rawhide RPM works a treat.  Thanks.

I forgot to mention that we were forwarding X over SSH to cygwin X.  When I
found a colleague with a local gnome desktop, xterm worked OK displaying to his
desktop so maybe it's something to do with that.

Thanks for the pointer to the rawhide RPM.
