Okay, I'll respin the patch to use the x*alloc functions for terminal.c.

I notice that other clients are using the regular alloc functions,
would you be open to a review of these and possibly a patch to convert
them to x*alloc where appropriate?

$ grep -I alloc * --exclude window.* | egrep -v "(x.alloc|allocat|zalloc|xrealloc)" | wc -l
