Got a wierd one. Sometimes (usually after a memory intensive task, like
emerging ooffice), Eterms in which I'm logged in as root will cause a
PrintScreen whenever I hit an arrow key.
To avoid the printjobs, I start Eterm with '--print-pipe /usr/bin/true',
which prevents the waste of paper, but crashes the Eterm. Once the
condition trips (after emerging ooffice), it is 100% repeatable. root
logins in xterm do _not_ exhibit the same behavior. User logins in
either Eterm or xterm don't do it either.
I'm thinking it is some sort of memory access error in bash when
'TERM=Eterm', but I'm having trouble narrowing it down. I tried using
the Eterm.ti file ('tic -o /usr/share/terminfo/ Eterm.ti') from the
Eterm tarball (Gentoo recently started using the one provided by
ncurses). No luck.
If I shut down the X server and restart it, it goes away.
Anyone have a clue where I can look? I'd like to isolate and fix it so
I can just provide a patch to the appropriate folks. For all I know, it
could be a problem in X or enlightenment...
thx,
Jason.
