And not even correct. If *xdm* immediately crashes, it will loop
a couple times but then init notices something is amiss and stops
trying to start it.
If your *X server* crashes, xdm restarts it. Whether you started
xdm int /etc/ttys or by some other mechanism has nothing to do
with it with this behavior.
