Re: snapshot 20091002 and xterm crash



When starting xterm with no locale environment variable set, it fails
to start. If you're quick enough, you can read a message along the
lines of "Cannot allocate pty: No such file ..."
Just a hint for debugging start problems with xterm: it has an option -hold in which case it doesn't terminate if the application terminates.
Don't know, though, if this helps if there is an error during its own initialisation.
