 I'm using an rxvt-unicode, but yes. First time tried to test it in a
virtual console and indeed, the bug doesn't appear to happen there,
started pdmenu for at least 20 times without troubles.

 Did give it another test: When pdmenu hangs and switching from X11 to
virtual console and back, pdmenu displayed its menu, but pressing any
key will make it segfault from that state.

 So long,
