And after some more testing, it is also reproducible within
a clean VirtualBox installation of Debian testing.

There, I found one more important condition to trigger the crash:

Apparently, I must run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and set
the default locale to "None"!

# dpkg-reconfigure locales
  --> choose e.g. only  [*] en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
  --> set default locale to  "None"

--> restart fvwm (no crash without logout/restart)

If I set the default locale to "en_US.UTF-8" (and restart fvwm),
then I cannot trigger the crash.

Any suggestions how to proceed?


(And it seems to be fvwm-specific; I couldn't trigger the
crash with e.g. xfce on the same (virtual) system.)

Olaf
