*** Please type your report below this line ***

The 0.5.2 mrxvt release, as documented on the mrxvt product page,
contained a logic error in a header which forces DEBUG_X on in all
cases.  Apparently this does more than simply log some information, but
lowers the performance of the program and increases its size both.

It seems odd that a 0.5.2.1 was not released, but the correction was
issued in the form of a patch, as you can see here:
http://materm.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main/Download

Here is the provided link to the patch:

I have verified that the current source package contains the error.  If
you do include an updated package, which would be a nice touch, then
realize this patch will become obsolete of cousre when mrxvt produces
another release (if that is a point of any concern).
