xterm's not supposed to crash, though I recall some issue with this a
couple of years ago.  Of course if you're doing something like

        xterm -e python foo

then it would not be clear whether xterm or the application within it
crashed.

What does "xterm -v" show?  (Knowing the version would help limit the
search for applicable bugs).
