From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: quite frequently, gnome-terminal starts consuming memory, causing the machine to start grinding the swap and running like a dog. If you can manage to switch back to the console and run top, gnome-terminal is using over 600M of ram. Some time later, gnome terminal dies, along with any children. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.run gnome-terminal 2.wait Actual Results: gnome-terminal dies. I don't know if it dies it's self or something (the kernel) kills it. Expected Results: gnome-terminal can run forever with no memory leaks. Additional info: The problem does not seem to be triggered by the user. When I was using an X application launched from gnome-terminal, it started and killed not only gnome-terminal but the app I was using :(
