Open mouth and insert foot! Mea Cupla! It does for me too. I just failed
to check. I assumed that if DISPLAY was set and I did an rxvt from
within the rxvt that it would only work if DISPLAY was unset or it
pointed to a running X Server. Yet I can rxvt from within an rxvt
without X and get another rxvt.
Sorry I should have checked.
