Since xterms are SUID root normal users also cannot run them unless SUID bit is removed. Then they are Ok. My H/W config. is 486 DX 33 with 8 Meg and Cirrus Logic 5422 with 1 Meg. Initiall there was no problem but this happened after sometime. I also notice that sometimes cron and xterms die with signal 11 (Segmentation Violation).
