    Update xterm to Patch#246.

    Patch #246 - 2009/8/16

        * remove obsolete logic for saving/restoring wrapping flags, which did not
          work on 64-bit platform. Wrapping flags (stored in the line-index) are now
          copied with line-data (Debian #541160).
        * modify comments in app-defaults files to avoid problem with C preprocessor
          used by xrdb (Debian #541603).
        * restore special case in makeColorPair, needed for colorBDMode resource
          (Debian #541089).
        * correct SetLineFlags() macro, broken in patch #244 when recoding to avoid
          gcc-specific bitfields (Debian #541236).
        * modify initialization of screen buffers to ensure that pointers align to
          int-boundaries. This fixes a problem introduced in patch #244 where the
          color- and character-arrays (stored after the video-attributes in each
          row) might be misaligned (report by Rajeev V Pillai).
        * add limit-check in ScrnRefresh for handling saved-lines from the circular
          buffer which are repainted on a screen whose width has increased. To
          improve performance, circular buffer entries are not resized (report by
          Rajeev V Pillai).
        * correct type for CellColor (a late change in patch #244 to avoid gcc-
          specifc enums made that unsigned rather than unsigned short, for the
          256-color option).
        * fix typo in configure option --enable-16bit-chars (report by Rajeev V.
          Pillai).

    Patch #245 - 2009/8/12

        * correct a special case in saving FIFO-lines from patch #244. If the screen
          was shrunk, xterm used the wrong amount for copying to FIFO-lines, and
          then used this amount to adjust the current row on the screen. That was
          both a visible defect (Debian #541109) as well as a potential addressing
          error (Debian #541132, #541160, and #541236).
        * add clarification in xterm manual about the various allowXXXOps resources,
          which are disabled when the allowSendEvents resource is active (patch by
          Julien Cristau, Debian #531597).

    Patch #244 - 2009/8/9

        * refactored storage of saved-lines, providing a configure option to manage
          them as a FIFO (actually a circular buffer), improving performance. Added
          configure option --enable-fifo-lines to enable/disable the new feature (it
          is enabled by default).
        * added fastScroll resource, to amuse people who measure terminal emulator
          performance by cat'ing large files to the screen.
        * modify check in readPtyData from return values to provide exit on zero-
          bytes read from pty for FreeBSD, or eliminate high-CPU in "xterm-hold"
          processing (discussion with Ulrich Spoerlein, FreeBSD ports/136686). The
          check was originally modified to combine negative/zero values in
          XFree86-3.1.2E, 1996/05/06.
        * add configure option --enable-16bit-chars to provide wide-characters with
          16-bits (rather than the default 32-bits).
        * add retryInputMethod resource to allow configuring out the retries xterm
          uses to connect to non-responsive XIM server, to work around defective X
          configurations as noted in NetBSD mailing list.
          http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-x11/2009/06/07/msg000511.html
        * make regular-expression selection work for VT100 double-sized characters.
        * improve layout when drawing missing characters in a proportional font,
          e.g., as boxes, to take into account whether they are double-width
          (report by Guilbert Stabilo on comp.unix.shell).
        * add capability for keypad-center (kb2/KA2) to termcap entry for xterm-new,
          as well as xterm-8bit, xterm-sun and xterm-vt220 (FreeBSD conf/136336).
        * change default for keepSelection resource to true (prompted by discussion
          with David Muir Sharnoff).
        * remove a limit-check in ptydata.c, allowing Unicode values past 64k to be
          displayed using TrueType fonts (Debian #458432).
        * remove a vt52-specific ifdef to allow mapping F1-F4 to PF1-PF4 when vt52
          support is not compiled (report by Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert).
        * save/restore line-wrapping flags when converting from ISO-8859-1 encoding
          to UTF-8 encoding, as well as when resizing screen.
        * remove extra adjustment of position in fix for Debian #418324.
        * modify default check for mkWidth resource to check for line-drawing
          characters, which are categorized as double-width in Solaris 10 (report by
          Sebastian Kayser).
        * add "print-everything" action (patch by Ovidiu Gheorghioiu).
        * start refactoring scrollback data using new getLineData() function.
        * demote recent change to Debian #252873 fix to experimental, ifdef'd out as
          EXP_BOGUS_FG (Debian #522141).
        * work around groff mapping of ASCII quotes using macros (requested by
          Reuben Thomas based on Colin Watson advice, fixes Debian #378700).
        * correct symbol used for default of allowWindowOps which was DEF_ALLOW_FONT
          rather than DEF_ALLOW_WINDOW (report by Matthieu Herrb).
        * amend fix for tek4014 from patch #243 to make it only apply to the Tek
          Options menu.
