Hello Adalberto !

We had the same problem on one of our machines. By default, Debian uses a
special xterm (Debian-xterm), which seemed to cause the problem we had
(same segmentation fault).

Try using the "standard xterm" (information about that in
/usr/doc/X11/README-Debian). Hope this helps !

Many thanks, Michael but I did not find any mention to 'xterm' in this document.
Could you send me a copy of yours?

Best regards,
