Setting priority and severity and confirming since reports are from a
couple of different users.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-11-11 22:12:35 UTC
Havoc, is this likely a dup of bug 95615?
Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-11 22:26:44 UTC
Looks likely. (btw, please move anything with "vte_" functions in the
backtrace to vte, and anything with "zvt_" to libzvt, at least by default)
