valgrind seems to point down into the X libraries (perhaps xterm is doing something that is not correct, but I don't see that immediately). To isolate the problem, will have to debug the X libraries. Here's the fragment from valgrind's log (bear in mind that running valgrind sometimes alters behavior): ==8273== Invalid read of size 4 ==8273== at 0x3C0B89D9: _XlcResetConverter (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C0BEE08: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C0BF074: _Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C096EF7: Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x804F89B: SelectionReceived (button.c:1382) ==8273== by 0x3C257CC2: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) ==8273== by 0x3C257FFD: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) ==8273== by 0x3C24376E: XtDispatchEventToWidget (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C24411C: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) ==8273== by 0x3C24443E: XtDispatchEvent (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) ==8273== Address 0x0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or free'd ==8273== ==8273== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV): dumpin> ==8273== Access not within mapped region at address 0x0 ==8273== at 0x3C0B89D9: _XlcResetConverter (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C0BEE08: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C0BF074: _Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C096EF7: Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x804F89B: SelectionReceived (button.c:1382) ==8273== by 0x3C257CC2: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) ==8273== by 0x3C257FFD: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) ==8273== by 0x3C24376E: XtDispatchEventToWidget (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.2) ==8273== by 0x3C24411C: (within /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) ==8273== by 0x3C24443E: XtDispatchEvent (in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0) Tracing some of the values does seem to indicate it crashes with a UTF8_STRING. -- Thomas E.
