Don't bother. I can reproduce it now.

I don't know yet what bug causes it, but in any case, you should *never* 
use the 'naked' xterm that you get when you start X11 on Leopard. If you 
are in a situation where you are forced to type "/sw/bin/gftp", instead 
of simply "gftp", then you know that your environment is not right, and 
you should first run

  source /sw/bin/init.sh

If you really prefer to use that first xterm, then at least uncripple it 
a little:

  defaults write org.x.X11 app_to_run '/usr/X11/bin/xterm -ls'

This will allow you to type "gftp", and there will be no bus error.
