gnome-terminal crashes
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Opening a new gnome-terminal window. Then typing in "man X". System waits a certain time (hanging up the rest of the windows practically for 100%) then exits with a fatal error, mentioning "segment fault" When retrying, sometimes reproduce exact same error. Other times the new window (after having retyped "man X") closes itself without any message. REMARK: I have the impression it happens often when I do as a FIRST command in a new window, a "man ...." of something. If I first type some other commands, the "man X" does work.
This most closely matches the description in bug #97817. (Both were Redhat 8.0 and used 'man' to get the crash). RedHat 8.0 ships with gnome-terminal v 2.0.1, so I'm suspect of the version number reported. I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of bug #96392, since #97817 was marked as a duplicate of it. (Note that #96392 was marked as a duplicate of #96439, but at least one person doesn't see why that was so). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 96392 ***
