I think I just closed an xterm which invoked the kernel warning which
you see below (but I'm not quite sure). Why and how I closed the
xterm is that I hit the "start new xterm" button by mistake in fvwm2,
and just typed "exit" into the buffer before bash even stopped
initializing. I didn't track how the xterm painted itself nor my
timing during its short life.
