FVWM: upgraded to fvwm 2.4.15 - can no longer start an xterm

Hi there,

I'm running XDarwin 1.2.0 under MacOS X and have just used fink to
upgrade the version of fvwm2 that I use.

The problem is that, after doing this upgrade, I can no longer launch
an xterm within fvwm. My .xinitrc is relatively simple, at the end I
have:

xterm -sb -sl 500 --geometry 75x34+687+40 &
exec ssh-agent fvwm2

The xterm mentioned here launches fine, but if I try and launch an
xterm from within fvwm2 the window appears, but is completely blank -
hitting enter causes the window to disappear. This happens using the
default .fvwm2rc or my own, which defines the command to launch the
xterm as follows:

+ "xterm" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -sb -sl 500

Note that curiously I can open emacs, start a shell and launch an
xterm from within here, all with no problems.

Can anyone suggest what is happening here?

Thanks
