Comment 12 for bug 785501

I've hit this bug recently too. More information here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=213319

It happens every few days. It's almost certainly Terminator to blame and not something more systemic, because I can open Konsole fine. There may be a memory leak involved. A freshly started terminator uses 49 MB, whereas the stuck version uses 190 MB.

Unfortunately, this bug takes a while to surface. This means testing terminator-gtk3 is not an option for me; version r1637 is unusable because of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1501128/comments/4

I'm happy to troubleshoot more, if that is useful.
