Yep.  That was an interesting race.  Like most races, it was really
obvious once I found it.

It seems to work ok now but I haven't tested it rigorously.  I was lulled
into a false sense of security before when I really *had* tested rxvt.
I just didn't try it enough times to notice that it failed 50% of the
time at least.
