The  bugs  really well-behaved in my case: 100% reliable hang -  let's
see whether we can take advantage of that :)

strace -o LOG.strace.hang-f   -f urxvt -e /bin/dash
strace -o LOG.strace.hang        urxvt -e /bin/dash
strace -o LOG.strace.nohang-f -f urxvt -e /bin/dash
strace -o LOG.strace.nohang      urxvt -e /bin/dash

The   difference   between   hang/nohang  is  typing  exit   vs   just
CTRL-RIGHTBUTTON/kill.

Let's use the ubuntu bug report to collect the traces:
