[comp.windows.x] xterm crash

I just discovered a simple way to reliably crash my xterm in X11R3.
I am running a Sun4-110 OS-3.2 single black&white display.

I type the string "cd ^N" where ^N is the control key and n key
together.   Try it -- it may crash for you too.

I get several pages of:

Vdraw: cursor_v overflow!  Vcursor_v == 14, should be < 14

Then xterm terminates and vanished from the screen.   This is very
repeatable.   I know that the command I gave is not of any use, but that
is what my fat fingers hit.   I don't think it should make xterm go
away.   Does anyone else have this problem?   Is there a fix for this?
