Well, having tried that, yes this is what happens -- i.e., the
backtrace is the same -- I even verified:

[n6tadam at shuttle][~]% strings $(which urxvt) | grep -i libev_flags
LIBEV_FLAGS

Just to make sure this had some effect.  But urxvt still blocks X
entirely to the extent where unless X is killed or the offending urxvt
process is killed, one can't do anything at all, not even CTRL-ALT-BKSP.
So do you have any ideas what else it could be, or what further
information I could try?  

I did try attaching xev to the urxvt window before opening one of
urxvt's menus which causes the problem, but this showed nothing out of
the ordinary -- the urxvt window receives a VisibilityNotify event as
expected, then everything freezes.
