This looks like a problem in rxvt.  rxvt calls

  select(5, readfds, NULL, NULL, NULL);

At the end of the call, select tries to memcpy the local fd array
to the callers readfds array.  This crashes.  Either the callers
readfds pointer is wrong, or the number of maxfds is too big.
However, I have no clue why this should only occur on your machines
but not on mine.

How do you call rxvt?

Just because the application is not in the BLODA list doesn't mean it
is no potential BLODA.  It seems unlikely in this case, but maybe it's
the AV software or something else on your machines.  Something all your
have in common.
