I’m sort of porting kterm (kanji-enabled xterm) which is
now rather outdated compared to current XF86 4.2’s xterm, but

What does it mean when execlp("/bin/sh",“sh”,NULL)
returns 0 with errno==0 ??

(shouldn’t return if overlay succeeded; should return -1 on error)

It shouldn’t return at all if successful…There isn’t any explict return
of 0 (there is one spot where it’s possible implicitly). Do you have a
small test case to illustrate the issue? If so, I’ll take a peek.
