Public bug reported: The affected package could also be the command-not-found package.
There seems to be a bug with the way either gnome-terminal or command- not-found handles unknown commands that are forked. It also seems to be dependent on the length of the full path. My testcase (which may have to be fiddled with): ~$ mkdir 123456789012345678 ~$ cd 123456789012345678 ~/123456789012345678$ pwd /home/redbrick/123456789012345678 ~/123456789012345678$ a& * gnome-terminal crashes * I've reproduced this on three different machines.
