Didn't help, though it sure used to work before. Rebooting didn't
change anything either. So apparently something is broken that is not
part of the X11 distribution, yet still affects only xterm (both local
and remote) in this very odd manner? This is totally mystifying to me.

I guess the next step is to suspect all the libraries used by Xquartz
but not included in the X11 distribution. Possibly one of them is
corrupted, though how that might affect xterm only is an odd thing to
contemplate. Any other ideas?

Oh, if anyone else is running MacOS X 11.5.4 on ppc and have installed
X11-2.3.1_rc3.pkg, would you please run the following command and
compare the output to mine?

; otool -L /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 |
