Package: gnome-terminal Severity: normal Version: 2.0.1 Synopsis: crash when rapidly launching multiple gnome-terminals from panel launcher Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal Bugzilla-Component: general BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3) Description: Description of Problem: Using default RH 8.0 install when clicking more than once on the gnome-terminal launcher in rapid succession the fatal error dialog comes up Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Start default RH 8.0 desktop 2. Drag terminal launcher from hatMenu | System Tools | Terminal to panel 3. Click the gnome-terminal launcher two or more times in rapid succession Actual Results: Error Application "gnome-terminal" has crashed with a fatal error (Aborted) Expected Results: Open the desired number of gnome-terminals How often does this happen? Every time one doesn't pause for a few seconds between "pushes" of the launcher Additional Information: I have installed RH 8.0 on 4 machines of differing configurations and cpu/memory capabilities and get the same behavior from all. Could be a RH issue but thought I'd pass it along. Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-terminal' (no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 8192 (LWP 1169)] 0x420ae169 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

This looks kind of like bug 88579, although that one was closed since it could not be reproduced. I can't seem to reproduce this with my GNOME2 snapshot, but I don't have a Red Hat 8 system to test with.

Found another one of these, also Red Hat 8.0, so confirming. Marking high/critical since it's a crasher.
I've seen the same with GNOME CVS HEAD (two profiles defined) Just running gnome-terminal & gnome-terminal & from xterm for example (and with no other gnome-terminal opened) is a good way to reproduce the bug. Same backtrace here. It seems to be a NULL returning from list = terminal_profile_get_list (); inside terminal_profile_get_for_new_term . But I'm now able to get the crash when using gdb.

This should be fixed in 2.2.1, it was a corba reentrancy thing
