Description Simon Tremlett 2003-02-13 09:59:57 UTC 
Description of Problem:
generally gnome terminal works ok, but I noticed
recently (I have been using Linux for 4 days now)
that when I try to man chkconfig from root, I get
the Segmentation fault error

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open terminal as root
2. # man config
3. Voila!

Actual Results:
hangs for a few seconds with cursor at bottom left
of window then gives segmentation error

Expected Results:
should show man chkconfig

How often does this happen? 

every time
Additional Information:

window size does not affect behaviour
Comment 1 John Fleck 2003-02-13 14:12:35 UTC 
We need to know what version of gnome-terminal this is. Also, a stack
trace would be an important help in tracking down the problem.
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2003-02-13 22:09:11 UTC 
Marking needinfo, as per John's comments.

Simon: You can get a stack trace by installing bug-buddy (should be on
the installation CDs from which you installed linux) and then getting
the crash to happen again.  If that doesn't work, or you want a
different way to get a stack trace, you can follow the directions at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi.
Comment 3 Simon Tremlett 2003-02-19 09:42:46 UTC 
I thought I'd eliminate the obvious, and re-installed RH8.0 from the
CD's again.
still same error.
Gnome terminal is V 2.0.1 default install from CD on a Celeron
400/Gigabyte LX chipset.

just looking for the stack trace thing now
ok, this is a wierd one... If I have a terminal open and try 'man
chkconfig' it crashes.
If I have a second terminal open with gdb running, the first one won't
crash, then if I quit gdb, the man chkconfig works ok in that terminal
window also.
If I then close all the terminals, and open a new one, the bug is once
again reproducible.
Comment 4 Simon Tremlett 2003-02-19 10:30:11 UTC 
ok, got bug-buddy going :))
back trace as follows...
