Ratpoison crashes both when I start the program then hit C-t w, and when
I hit C-t w then run the program while the window list is still visible.

Yes, still happens.

Actually, I think I found the real bug!! My .ratpoisonrc looks like:
set winfmt %n%s%80t
set wingravity center
set font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
After commenting out the winfmt line, ratpoison doesn't crash anymore
with the test program, or with Opera. I see that the special symbols
don't show up in the window list (e.g., on the Intel page, the
registered trademark symbol is omitted from the window title). Looks
like a pointer bug in format_string() (src/format.c) perhaps?

I'll try to run through the rest of your suggestions later, but I think
we've found the culprit. I'll take a peek at format_string() to see if
there's anything obviously wrong with it.
