mc makes gnome-terminal crash
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Distribution: Debian testing/unstable Package: gnome-terminal Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.4.1 2.4.2 Gnome-Distributor: GNOME.Org Synopsis: mc makes gnome-terminal crash Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: 2.4.2 BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.4.0.1) Description: Description of the crash: Sometimes (rarely) after copying, moving or deleting files, mc sends some string to the terminal which changes the terminal title to unicode gibberish and often segfaults gnome-terminal Steps to reproduce the crash: I have not been able to find a sequence that is able to reproduce the crash: I tried restarting the terminal and repeating the same operation with mc, but it did not crash the terminal, although sometimes it would set the window title to gibberish. Expected Results: I would expect gnome-terminal not to segfault no matter what crappy sequence is sent by mc or other programs. Differently, the risk is having anything that prints to the terminal being able to potentially break a stack and execute some code, or anyways at least cause some major annoyance by crashing all open gnome-terminals How often does this happen? Rarely, unfortunately (well, fortunately, but not for the goal of solving the bug), and I'm so far unable to reproduce it in a deterministic fashion. Additional Information: I'm sorry I can't provide a reliable way to reproduce the bug. The bug has been around for some months now (like 2/3 month at least). Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-terminal' (no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
