When running twm, if I click on a menu entry with the following binding:

	f.exec "xhost hostname"

twm just hangs, and I have to kill it off (with great difficulty).  Since
SIGQUIT won't kill it, I can't get a core dump to track down the problem.
Just executing "xhost hostname" is no problem, and uwm doesn't suffer from
this difficulty.  Twm seems to run pretty well, otherwise.  Any clues?
