Description Stephen Brooks 2004-02-12 10:09:17 UTC
Description of Problem:


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. 'more' a binary file within terminal
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
Gnome-terminal crashes with a segmentation fault.

Expected Results:
Gracefully handle display of non-text bytes.

How often does this happen? 
Not 100% reproducible, happens about 1 in 10 times.

Additional Information:
I generally don't purposfully 'more' binary files but it does happen by
accident every now and then!
