Comment 1 Kjartan Maraas 2002-03-12 22:58:43 UTC 
Can you get a backtrace for this? maybe run it in gdb and type 'bt'
after it crashes?
Comment 2 Thomas Luft 2002-03-13 09:55:35 UTC 
I will try and post the result here.
Comment 3 Thomas Luft 2002-03-15 19:01:38 UTC 
Here the results of gdb:

Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2002-03-16 08:16:25 UTC 
Also what version of gnome-libs are you using?
Comment 5 Thomas Luft 2002-03-16 08:49:07 UTC 
The version of gnome-libs is 1.4.1.4-2
Comment 6 Kjartan Maraas 2002-06-11 23:04:24 UTC 
Please try the latest 1.4.x release of gnome-libs and gnome-core.

*** Bug 85236 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 8 Ben FrantzDale 2002-07-29 04:32:32 UTC 
This looks related to bug 77800. Both are dying in zvt_shutdown_subshell.
Comment 9 Kjartan Maraas 2002-08-03 15:54:47 UTC 
Could you try the latest gnome-libs and gnome-core and see if that helps?
Comment 10 Kjartan Maraas 2002-08-16 18:34:25 UTC 
Can you still see this crash with gnome-libs-1.4.2 and gnome-core-1.4.1?
Comment 11 Kjartan Maraas 2002-10-13 13:31:25 UTC 
No feedback. Closing.
