It looks to me that xterm isn't crashing, it's merely finishing the command it was
given and exiting nicely. Try running something that stays around for a while
instead of "pwd" - eg. "xclock" of "vi a.tmp".

You're right....  as user or root...  even "strace xterm -e pwd" (or any
other command) dies with a clue which I don't have time to research...
