My system is running the "unstable" release of Debian and I
have found an easily reproducible problem where xterm gets
SIGSEGV whenever I use the Ctl+RightButton menu to select a
different font:
######## shrapnel:136---> dpkg -l | grep -i xterm
ii xterm 210-2 X terminal emulator
######## shrapnel:137---> gdb xterm
