I was looking at the latter. (I do have a build tree for 4.4.0, but since I
made a few fixes for Xt, was looking at the current code, partly to see if
there were other fixes I might make).

unrelated - I'm using a static copy of XFree86 for my X server on Debian (c=
an't
recall entirely at the moment, but the previous set of X packages didn't
successfully start X, but seem to recall that the current one does).

Both current XFree86 server and current Debian libraries have problems thou=
gh
(I have observed that the current Debian libraries are causing Opera to use=
 a
lot of CPU, and also went back to a previous snapshot of my X servers to av=
oid
a bug - debugging the server is out of my range of interests).

I do a full build on each xterm patch check xterm and to update the XFree86
binary. When I was testing this report, it was against the build tree, sin=
ce
(if I'd seen an issue) it would be simple to recompile the related libraries
with -g so valgrind could offer more insight). Since I already have the
trees setup, it was the least work (but doesn't completely answer the
report of course).
