I had the same problem too. It happened sometimes with plain urxvt (perhaps once a week), and much more often with urxvtd (several times a day). I ended running urxvtd in gdb, and when it crashed the backtrace indeed indicated that Perl had something to do with it (double-free or other errors from glibc). Here are the plugins I used: default,cspace,matcher,tabbedex (all in perl-ext). When I got tired of it I switched to Terminator. It's far from perfect (and VTE kind of sucks), but I love the tiled terminals. -- Thomas/Schnouki
