FVWM: Wait (?) bug

I first noticed this bug in a key binding to start my web browser. I
would make the key strokes and then realize that I wanted to be on a
different desktop. The browser takes a second to start, so I would try to
switch desktops before it was up. Then FVWM would suddenly crash.

Here's a minimal config:

     DestroyFunc TestFunc
     AddToFunc TestFunc
     + I Exec sleep 1 ; xterm
     + I Wait Xterm

     Key T A A TestFunc

If you hit 'T' then some other key before xterm comes up, FVWM will
crash. FVWM doesn't crash if you hit 'T', or if another window is
focused. The sleep simulates time the browser takes to start up,
otherwise it's hard to reproduce with xterm.

I suspect that Wait is causing the trouble, because I have no problems
without it.

Thanks,

jpkotta
