Bug Description
Binary package hint: xterm
I typed "exit" in an xterm window and pressed enter. My X session got killed instantly and I had to relogin.
It happened twice in a row.
Not funny losing all my work in this way.

I seem to recall seeing a similar report against gnome-terminal about a
week ago. Perhaps the problem is in the shell, e.g., sending a "kill -1"
for some reason (or even the window manager).
