Silly me, I now "discovered" a long-forgotten woody machine. Testing
that, I get:

bash-2.05a# ls -l /etc/debian_version
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4 Nov 28  2001 /etc/debian_version
bash-2.05a# cat /etc/debian_version
3.0
bash-2.05a# dpkg -l | grep xterm
ii  xterm          4.1.0-16woody7 X terminal emulator

what does "xterm -v" show?

Also, I don't recall at what point xterm is packaged with UTF-8 support.
That would show up indirectly in the output from "xterm -h".

bash-2.05a# ps aux | grep $PPID
root       473  0.0  0.2  4460 2288 ?        Ss   06:24   0:00 xterm
bash-2.05a# time perl -e '$|=1; foreach $x (1..500) { print "x" foreach(1..$x); print 
" $x\n" }'
....
real    0m0.364s
user    0m0.100s
sys     0m0.090s

which seems to substantiate my earlier claims of a regression.
Maybe, hopefully, this bug will be fixed someday...
