gnome-terminal crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen()

[Brian J. Murrell]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

I ran gnome-session-save and all of my gnome-terminals disappeared. gnome-terminal segfaulted. I know I've seen this before and thought I had opened a bug on it but I can't seem to find it. now. Maybe launchpad will find it for me with the new duplicate matching code. :-)

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace <http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash> and attach the file to the bug report (the one that was generated automatically from apport is useless). This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Micah Cowan (micahcowan)]

Never mind; apport's retrace is useless, the one you originally gave with your bug is great.

Is ssh-loop some sort of custom script, and what do the arguments {build,orion,mountain} signify?

Sure:

#!/bin/bash

HOST=$1
shift
while true; do
    ssh -t $HOST "$@"
    echo "hit enter to connect again"
    read a
done
