valgrind seems to point down into the X libraries (perhaps xterm is
doing something that is not correct, but I don't see that immediately).
To isolate the problem, will have to debug the X libraries. Here's
the fragment from valgrind's log (bear in mind that running valgrind
sometimes alters behavior):

Tracing some of the values does seem to indicate it crashes with a UTF8_STR=
ING.
