Benn,

There has been another significant change on 12/2. Could you try the
latest snapshot? It's stable enough.

So at the time the second login takes place, the first one freezes,
even when both are the administrator?

Assuming it keeps occuring with the snapshot, try starting under strace
(from the Terminal Services console) the rxvt that goes away:

strace -o trace.txt rxvt -d :0 -e bash
and send me trace.txt as an attachment.
Do as little as possible in bash (no --login) to keep the trace
size reasonable. Is there a stack dump in the current directory?
Thanks.

Pierre
