Bug Description
Binary package hint: libx11-6
I use ru_RU.UTF-8 locale (sets by LANG environment variable).
X.Org version ships with edgy release lacks of necessary X locale files (/usr/share/
symlink to exists en_US.UTF-8 dir. This is widely used way to get working RXVT and other programs with Russian locale.
But version of X.Org ships with feisty release have all necessary files so during installation all files destined for en_US.UTF-8 dir overwrote bu files from ru_RU.UTF-8.
New /usr/share/
include "/usr/share/
Because ru_RU.UTF-8 dir is still symlink to en_US.UTF-8 we get an infinite recursion during parsing this file and mysterious crashes of many programs.
See bugs #87539, #85610.
After replacing ru_RU.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8 dirs by files from libX11-6 deb package all programs works fine.

Not a bug in the package, you messed up your system by yourself.
