xterm and font problems after last update

after last package update I noticed two issues:

on .XWinrc I was forced to change

from:
    xterm   exec    "xterm -fn 8x13 -fg white -bg black -display 
127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls /bin/bash &"

to:
    xterm   exec    "xterm -fn 8x13 -fg white -bg black -display 
127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls  &"

xterm dies immediately with the first invocation,
and enabling the logging I have:

    xterm: Cannot use '<F4><E5>#a<F4><E5>#a^P' as shell: No such file or 
directory

$ xfontsel.exe &
"Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion"

Attached cygcheck output

The first one was reported a week ago as FreeBSD #175782,
and is fixed in #289 (last Friday).

The second one was (I think) reported/fixed on this list.

nice to know, reverting to #287 solves the issue.

reported yes, I see it in some variants, solved not.

But reverting xterm, solves also the xfontsel.exe warning.
