Open mouth and insert foot! Mea Cupla! It does for me too. I just failed 
to check. I assumed that if DISPLAY was set and I did an rxvt from 
within the rxvt that it would only work if DISPLAY was unset or it 
pointed to a running X Server. Yet I can rxvt from within an rxvt 
without X and get another rxvt.

Sorry I should have checked.
