More notes.

1) I ran run this under the same args and sometimes it will fail and sometimes succeed. I am killing the window after each run, so I am not showing hundreds of windows (and so I'm not out of memory).

In this example, you see the same ags and they fail, then work, then fail!

mfisch@tadow:~$ xterm +vb -sb -sl 10001 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold
Segmentation fault
mfisch@tadow:~$ xterm +vb -sb -sl 10001 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold
mfisch@tadow:~$ xterm +vb -sb -sl 10001 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold
Segmentation fault

2) I noticed that this keeps showing up in .xsession-errors when there is an error. Unfortunately, I'm more of a systems programmer (think commandline), so I'm out of my element on what this means:

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 19
  Minor opcode: 0
  Resource id: 0x3800010
