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. We also need to know the version
of gnome-terminal.

More info:



Version 2.01



Problem only seems to occur while running under a VNC server session on 

RedHat 8 (2.4.18-27.8.0).  Does not happen under normal X (console) 

session.



Does not happen when running from gdb.



Stack trace below obtained by causing crash, then attaching gdb to the 

process.

Thanks. This is a dup of bug 95615, a vte bug, and it looks like it
may be fixed by upgrading that package. Could you report back if that
doesn't work?

From what I can determine, I'm running the latest vte package that will work 
with the gnome-terminal package installed by RedHat 8 (after updates).

gnome-terminal  gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5
vte             vte-0.8.19-2

Later versions don't include libvte.so.2 which is needed by 
gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5.  They instead include libvte.so.4.

I need to test further by I think the bug might have been introduced by 
vte-0.8.19-2 as I don't recall the problem with vte-0.8.19-1.  I'll try to test 
further.

Another option might be to upgrade to a later version of gnome-terminal but 
I'm reluctant to do that as this server is kept up to date using the RedHat 
Network.
