Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal
When the X-Resource XTerm*openIm ist set to false, starting xterm
results in a long time where nothing happens, and finally it crashes
with a segfault.
It is reproducible with:
xterm -xrm "XTerm*openIm: False"
When stracing (and searching for open in the ouput) it, it seems
to endlessly do the following:
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/compose.dir", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/compose.dir", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose", O_RDONLY) = 5
(And here it starts from the beginning)
setting LC_ALL and LANG to C does not improve the situation.
