Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 9.10-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After recently rebooting my machine, I could no longer log into XDM... it took a
while to track it down, but it was the rxvt-unicodes I was executing in
.xsession.
Anytime I launch an rxvt-unicode, I get the following segfault:
Backtrace:
[ 587.865] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x80edefb]

Before I tracked it down to rxvt-unicode, I thought there might have been a bug
in the unstable release of nvidia, so I tried the experimental versions of
nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-glx.
Once I narrowed it down to rxvt-unicode, I tried the experimental version of
rxvt-unicode, but that didn't fix it either.

An X crash is not a client bug. I'm guessing you have an entry for a
font server in your xorg.conf, and this is a dupe of a known X bug.
Remove that entry and it'll stop crashing.
