Dear Maintainer,

When running with option "-hold", xterm is printing lines slowly if
the command terminates immediately.

For example:
$ xterm -hold -e "ls -l /usr/bin"
runs slowly, while
$ xterm -hold -e "ls -l /usr/bin ; read"
runs at normal speed.

The culprit seems to be the following lines, around line 559 in misc.c.
Without them xterm runs normally.

/*
* With NetBSD, closing a shell results in closing the X input event
* stream, which interferes with the "-hold" option. Wait a short time in
* this case, to avoid max'ing the CPU.
*/
if (hold_screen && caught_intr && !found) {
Sleep(10);
}

Regards,
Arnaud Giersch
