Created attachment 595697 [details] full backtrace attached to the process Description of problem: I had started nwipe in a gnome-terminal. As root user. Since the manual page did not mention the text-mode UI and did not explain the keys to press, I closed the terminal and expected nwipe to close, too. Instead, it kept running and increased CPU usage up to 99%. What a shock! Especially with the man page mentioning an --autonuke feature. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -q nwipe nwipe-0.08-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gnome-terminal 2. start nwipe 3. close gnome-terminal Actual results: nwipe keeps running, working on something Expected results: nwipe terminated
