Occasional crash if terminal displays binary data
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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! Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-terminal' (no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1". (no debugging symbols found)...
