>Description:
I'm having an odd issue with termit, an X terminal program.  In the default configuration it runs fine; when I try to disable the menu bar or the scroll bar or both, running /bin/sh causes termit to immediately exit.  Running "termit -e /bin/csh" works fine, as do bash and zsh; the problem seems to be peculiar to termit and sh.

termit doesn't print anything to stdout or stderr, it doesn't dump core, and it doesn't exit with a nonzero exit status.  The terminal window simply flashes open and closed.  As best I can tell no shell prompt is displayed.

I'm running FreeBSD 9.1-release under VirtualBox, and the problem occurs when using 9.1-release packages and when using 9-stable packages.  wblock on the FreeBSD forums was able to reproduce the problem and told me to enter a PR.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install termit and paste the following into ~/.config/termit/rc.lua:

    defaults = {
        showScrollbar = false,
        hideMenubar = true
    }
    setOptions(defaults)

Then run "termit -e /bin/sh".
