OK.... I figured out the issue.  Inside .bashrc (in the Linux remote
machine), I was executing xrdb every time I was logging in, but I only
meant it to execute it when requesting xterm.  So, I included the following
lines in .bashrc, and everything works.

Thank you berndbausch!  You were spot on!  I didn't realize that xrdb was
the cause of my issue, and I solved the problem as you suggested.

if [[ -n $DISPLAY ]]
then
     /usr/bin/xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
fi
