Zack,

I tried with kernel 2.2.1 and fvwm 2.0.46, saw the problem. I don't
know why it causes a problem with 2.2.1 and not with 2.0.X, something
to do with malloc maybe. But I found a way.

It takes only one line change. It is easy enough to do with your
editor.

Find the line in FvwmCommandS.c
  SendText(Fd,"",0); /* tell fvwm that we are here */

Change it to the below by adding a space.
  SendText(Fd," ",0); /* tell fvwm that we are here */

That should do.
