Comment 4 Ivan Noris 2004-06-10 13:28:26 UTC 
Are you sure this is fixed?
I have latest release vte and the problem is still appeariong on Solaris 9/SPARC.
GNOME is compiled with Forte (not gcc) compiler.

It look like this:
1) if I run only one terminal, after "exit" it exits
2) if I run multiple terminals, after "exit" in the last window it keeps running
(writing "exit"). Even with this patch applied.
Comment 5 Ivan Noris 2004-06-10 15:07:33 UTC 
A nice thing I just found out:

when I run multiple terminals with --disable-factory, they exit just fine.
Comment 6 Ivan Noris 2004-06-17 13:45:23 UTC 
This is what I got when vte and GT are compiled with debug.

I opened two gnome-terminals, closed the first and closed the other. The last
one keeps running.

Debugging shows:

(gdb) thread apply all bt

+ Trace 47170

*** Bug 133690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 8 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-07-14 02:47:07 UTC 
Should this be reopened?
Comment 9 vix 2004-07-14 07:48:23 UTC 
This seems to happen only on Solaris. I have submited another bug report, as
this is closed. (#144587), please read. The two bugs are prehaps caused by the
same problem, that is typical for solaris.
