Description Gene Pavlovsky 2005-08-16 03:55:21 UTC

My X server crashes when I cat a japanese text file (not sure what encoding it
is in, since I can't read it...) in rxvt-unicode, or display this text file with
xditview.
I'm using the "Lucida Console:pixelsize=20" font.
I don't get any meaningful
error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

This is a really blocker bug, because my whole X sessions (with lots of other
running apps with unsaved data) are often lost due to some cat or grep.

steps to reproduce: 

run rxvt-unicode
cat README.j
--CRASH--
(or
xditview README.j
--CRASH--)

Please post a backtrace of the xserver when the error occurs.
Also, any improvements using a current version of xorg?

Oh, gee, forgot about this bug absolutely. X.org 7.0, works perfectly. Thanks)
