Hmm, that is /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm is a directory containing a soft
link called "xterm" which is pointing back to the directory.  Seems
pretty broken.

Do you have any idea where your /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm and its content
came from?  There is no such directory in our installation, but it
doesn't have quite all patches applied.  What does

rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm/xterm

say?
