Actually there seem to be several slightly different bugs. :-/
I've gotten several hangs with a crash trace like the following. It
appears that when redrawing a window, it sets the position of the cursor
(xterm.c:733); and because X has support for internationalization, it
wants to set the position of the "pre-edit area" -- presumably where the
pop-up should appear if you're typing something like Chinese
(xfns.c:2107), and so sets the values by calling the X library function
XSetICValues. This for some reason blocks in poll() and never returns.
It seems possible this might actually be a bug in the X library -- worth
bringing in someone from the X team?
