Description
I recently upgraded to xterm 269. When I now run it, it immediately reports a memory fault. The crash occurs on line 1984 of main.c in the call to XtOpenApplication:
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory. Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0xffffffe4 0x0015f7cd in XtOpenApplication ()
This is on osx 10.5.8.

I am not exactly sure what you want. If I run it, I get:
s) /opt/local/bin/xterm
Memory fault
s)
The description in the original report has the details given by gdb.
If there is something else you need, please let me know.

Please attach the crash log. It's usually in a window that pops up when the crash occurs, or you can find it in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports or ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter depending on your OS version.

Done. Thanks. I was unaware of those reports.

That backtrace is bizarre... my guess is the stack got corrupted and blew away the stored %ebp ...

If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. Obviously, the program doesn't get very far.

The problem appears to be in xorg-libXt @1.1.0_0. I deactivated that and re-activated xorg-libXt @1.0.9_0, and the problem has gone away.

How would I update to 1.1.1? At present, macports only appears to offer 1.1.0. Thanks.
