what both links have in common is that they have Unicode characters in
their title. It has been reported before, that with some special fonts,
dwm crashes, but I and nobody on the team has been able to reproduce
this.
The minimal test case would be to create a simple X-window with a title
containing the aforementioned unicode characters. Given the problem is
not reproducible on the devs' computers, it might be a long haul until
this will be debugged.
depending on your skill, do you mind dissecting the font rendering in
the dwm-code wrt to the title bars? The line responsible for drawing
the window title texts is 735 in dwm.c[0].
