termit dies when running /bin/sh without a menu bar or scroll bar

[gdwatson]

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. Here's a simple .config/termit/rc.lua to reproduce the problem:

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

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. Information or ideas would be much appreciated.

Does the same here:
termit -e /bin/sh opens and immediately closes a window.
termit -e /bin/csh opens a terminal using csh.

This is on 9-STABLE from a few minutes ago, amd64. Please enter a PR.

Done. Thank you much.
