I've found that the only time my xterm crashes was when I tried to
execute a file that wasn't available to me (either in my path in that
xterm or just not installed). This happened with previous X-11 betas
too. It makes me wonder if it's something in your configuration files
that are the problem - which cause xterm to load and then crash. In
the last few days, I've found that after some software upgrades I've
done, some commands I've typed into an xterm will crash it. To locate
the problems, I was confounded by the fact that in addition to
installing X-11 b3, I've also changed Perl versions (->5.8) and have
been fixing my fink installation to correct some compiles I'd done
against libpng vs libpng3 so I initially made a mess of a few of my
programs (evolution was one, some gnome games, actually I even
recompiled even mozilla but I think that was for a different reason).
Anyway to cut to the chase, my xterm doesn't crash now, so I'm putting
it down to trying to execute programs that didn't work. I hope this
jumble of information helps someone - sorry if it doesn't make sense.
Cheers, David Orlovich.

I installed Apple's X11 Beta 3 over the Xfree86 installed by Xdarwin

In case someone reads the attached and leaps to the assumption that
Fink is a requirement for fixing the problem. It's not.

I'm also having a problem with xterm crashing since upgrading to X11
0.3. For me it happens when I do something that requires the screen
to
scroll, like running "ps -aux" or "setenv".
I just upgraded to X11 Beta 3, and installed the latest (fink/stable)
system-xfree86. I don't have this problem or the previously reported
'flicker' problems. I'm running 10.2.4, FWIW.
