On my new install I've been using urxvtd to run terminals, and I'm finding that it frequently crashes.

I was using the script in the urxvtc man page to spawn a daemon as required, and that either results in memory usage skyrocketing, or heaps of processes spawned waiting to connect to the daemon.
What am I doing wrong? Searching the interweb has thus far found nothing except that if urxvtd crashes it brings down all the clients (which I've become quite aware of). AFAIK there's no glitches in my ~/.Xresources[1]
I usually have a tmux session or two running, so I don't lose much, but it's still annoying when I lose an active download with aria2 or something like that.

I also use urxvtd everyday for the last 3 years, but it doesn't crash at all. The notable differences in your Xresources and mine are: 1) the fonts. I use non xft. (terminus) 2) i have 1/4 of your scrollbuffer (4096 lines) 3) i use defaults,matcher as perl-ext-common, and don't use clipboard,selection or url-select at all.(matcher is a url launcher after all) Also, i don't use any kind of script to launch my terminals. Just a urxvtd -q -f -o on .xinit, and simple urxvtc afterwards.
