Fascinating.  I've never seen xrn produce this error before.  It's
coming from inside the Athena Text Widget, and I have no idea at all
what's causing it.

Can you reproduce this reliably?  If so, can you describe to me the
steps that you take to reproduce it?  Also, try running betaxrn
instead of xrn and see if you have the same problem.
