Hi, http://bugs.debian.org/186593 if I open several gnome-terminal windows and then type "exit" in any one of them, gnome-terminal crashes completely, killing all other windows. Perfectly reproducible here, it happens every time. It must be due to an update which happened today (on sid) since it did not happen yesterday.
