- I too have seen Xterms mysteriously die upon keyboard input. I first
- noticed this under 0.98pl4, but thought it was a user error (like
- me hitting CTRL-D by mistake). I'm running on a 486-50, 16M, and
- Adaptec 1542 in case there is some hardware pattern here, since there
- doesn't appear to be anything else in common: I can't even duplicate
- the problem on demand to track it.
