Comment 4 for bug 219294

Same problem for me. I just upgraded to Heron, and I've noticed that Xterm sometimes works and sometimes does not. For example, I just tried all the xterm commands which tadowguy filled in in the first post, and they sometimes worked, and sometimes did not. (yes, I re-ran them a couple times).

Right now I've discovered that "xterm +sb" worked four times in a row. It seems to work every time.

$ xterm -sb
Segmentation fault
$ echo $?
139

package name:
$ dpkg -S $(which xterm)
xterm: /usr/bin/xterm

my version of Xterm:
$ xterm -version
XTerm(229)

I cant find a core dump (I've set 'ulimit -c 1024') in pwd nor in /var/crash.
