Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard
to determine what caused the crash. Please see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting
a useful stack trace.

It'd be very useful to know what version of gnome-terminal you are using, too.

Comment 2 b.g.allan 2004-04-06 12:39:19 UTC

I'm using gnome-terminal 2.0.1 with vte-0.8.19.2 running Redhat 8.0
with linux kernel 2.4.20-28.8smp 

This bug showed up after doing an up2date from Redhat.

Comment 3 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-04-06 17:28:43 UTC

Since you are using those versions, iI'd say this is a bug that has been fixed
for a while now. It is really impossible to be sure unless you can provide a
stack trace, though.

I'll just go ahead and close this, as chances are this is a dup of 94509 via
124591. (Going first thru REOPENED...)
