I have seen this problem (discussed elsewhere in this group) a number of
times with XFree versions of X on OS X with Quartz-wm and OroborosX. I have
not seen it with Xorg. But I now use Apple's X11 (with the sources to xterm
compiled from Xorg's distribution). I see this hang almost exclusively at
X11 startup. Hitting return kills the hung xterm. Here is a sample of what
appears to be going on (I do not know what this tells me):
