The two problems you encounter are likely to have the same root cause: memory corruption in urxvt. I don't know what exactly went wrong, but when I stop using urxvt's perl plugins, the problem seems to disappear (at least I've seen it for a long enough time). Maybe our problems are not the same, so don't expect this to work for you. > What am I doing wrong?
