Hi,

After a 2nd round of upgrading in Fedora, my xterm can't be started now.

If I start it from the command line, I'll get the following after about 1
or 2 minutes delay.

$ xterm
Segmentation fault

What might be the problem?
(strace log can be provided if you think it is necessary.)

Here are my package versions:

xterm-179-5
XFree86-xauth-4.3.0-55
XFree86-tools-4.3.0-55
XFree86-4.3.0-55
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-55
XFree86-font-utils-4.3.0-55
XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-55
XFree86-base-fonts-4.3.0-55
XFree86-xdm-4.3.0-55
XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-55
XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-55
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-55
XFree86-devel-4.3.0-55
redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.15-1
XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-55
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-55
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-55

Are yours the same with mine?

Thanks
