This is bugfix patch number 1 for XFree86 3.3.2.  This patch fixes the
following problems:

  - xterm utmp handling problem.
  - exploitable buffer overflows in xterm related to the preeditType,
    inputMethod and *Keymap resources.
  - fix xterm's mishandling of the -vb command line option.
  - fix an invisible cursor problem with xterm.
  - exploitable buffer overflows in setuid programs using the Xaw library
    which are related to the preeditType and inputMethod resources.
