Description mmiikkee13 2006-07-25 04:02:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
gdb crashes when I hit ^X and then 1 (which should bring up a nice ncurses
window with a view of the source code.) gnome-terminal refused to scroll up, but
here's what I got from the crash: http://rafb.net/paste/results/UjscKr81.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdb.i386                                 6.3.0.0-1.122          installed

How reproducible:
[mike in ~]$ gdb
GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-1.122rh)
Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
(blah blah blah, legal stuff)
(gdb) (hit ctrl-X, release both, press 1 (one))
  
Actual results:
A major crash, http://rafb.net/paste/results/UjscKr81.html
I also tried tee'ing it to a log file, but it's mostly unreadable to me. I
attached it in case someone here is well-versed in escape codes ;-)

Expected results:
A nice ncurses window with an interactive view of the source code.

gdb-6.5-5 in today's rawhide should have the fix.
