I tried your *termcmd[] patch and it didn't fix the problem for me.
Just for the record I'm using an up-to-date archlinux distro with a
single-core 64-bit atom processor and a 3.10 kernel, current dwm-git
and st-git. The other case I know of is also archlinux, on an Inspiron
core-i5 processor, dwm 6.0 and st-git.
