I guess I never sent the message I was going to last week about xterm.
[Noteto REW: If I did, kill this message...]
It seems that sending xterm an excessively long escape sequence kills
it (and perchance might be made to hack it, which would be quite bad.)
The xterm in XFree86-3.2 is immune to this problem. I recommend
everyone upgrade ASAP.
