[Pkg-urxvt-maintainers] Bug#624856: rxvt-unicode causes X to segfault

[Phil Dibowitz]

Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 9.10-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After recently rebooting my machine, I could no longer log into XDM... it took a
while to track it down, but it was the rxvt-unicodes I was executing in
.xsession.

Anytime I launch an rxvt-unicode, I get the following segfault:

Backtrace:

Before I tracked it down to rxvt-unicode, I thought there might have been a bug
in the unstable release of nvidia, so I tried the experimental versions of
nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-glx.

Once I narrowed it down to rxvt-unicode, I tried the experimental version of
rxvt-unicode, but that didn't fix it either.
