Comment 2 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2004-05-02 01:24:49 UTC

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.

However, could you provide some information about the gnome-terminal version ?

Comment 3 paquin 2004-05-02 15:25:58 UTC

gnome-terminal version is 2.4.2 (Debian GNU/Linux)
