Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 4.8-1
Severity: important
Hi,
rxvt-unicode has serious problems when running applications that
output bold UTF-8 characters.
If man is run to display manpages with 'strange' characters (e.g.
muttrc(5), which has a bold dollar sign on line 43) then urxvt
segfaults. The same occurs when running any program using dialog, such
as debconf dialogs or orphaner. My guess is that they use bold non
alphanumeric characters. Also, urxvt crashes when one types:
echo -e '\033[1m<c>'
where <c> is any non latin character (e.g. cyrillic small letter a:
U+0430). However the corresponding non bold command does not crash
urxvt:
echo -e '<c>'
nor the following, although it outputs a bold dollar:
echo -e '\033[1m$'
rxvt-unicode, rxvt-unicode-lite and rxvt-unicode-ml all share this
bug. There is no such problem using xterm or rxvt (but they don't
support UTF-8, so that's not a surprise).
Have a nice bug hunt,
Lionel.

-- How to reproduce:
In bash running under urxvt, type:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] man muttrc
then scroll down until line 43 is displayed; or just type:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo -e '\033[1mÐ'.
