From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020724 Description of problem: This is an odd one, but I can reproduce it every time. A clean install of Limbo2, I create a regular user, login via GDM, open a gnome-terminal, give it focus, and press ALT-F3. The system becomes unresponsive, and all memory is used up (hard drive trashes around in swap). Then finally, the OOM killer kicks and the system recovers. dmesg says, "Out of Memory: Killed process 1564 (bash)." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install limbo2 2.Login, run gnome-terminal 3.Give it focus 4.Press ALT-F3 Actual Results: Out of Memory: Killed process 1564 (bash) Expected Results: I don't know what ALT-F3 is supposed to do, but it shouldn't hose up bash that way. Additional info:
I can't reproduce with vte 0.7.3 and gnome-terminal 2.0.1, likely fixed. Please reopen if still happening with newer versions for you.
This should be fixed in bash-2.05b-3 and later.
Fix confirmed with bash-2.05b-3.
