Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2009-10-17 23:53:29 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch VTE and Accerciser
2. In Accerciser select the accessible object of ROLE_TERMINAL
3. In Accerciser's iPython console type:

    text = acc.queryText()
    text.getText(0, -1)

Expected results: The text displayed in the terminal would be returned.

Actual results: VTE dumps core with the following assertion:

Vte:ERROR:vteaccess.c:946:vte_terminal_accessible_get_text: assertion failed: ((start_offset >= 0) && (end_offset >= -1))
