Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10, upgraded from 8.04

Sometimes, After coming back from suspend-to-ram, my instance(s) of
gnome-terminal fail to recognize the space character correctly. For
example,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname
Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
bash: uname -a: command not found

(I don't know which package is causing the problem, it can be hal or the
gnome-terminal)

I get the "command not found" error on all commands that include a space
to separate the command from it's options. Closing all instances of
gnome-terminal and re-opening a new one does not fix the problem. This
problem does not happen all the time when I come back from suspend-to-
ram but is pretty annoying.

Going into a ttyl session (CTRL+ALT+F6, for example) lets me use all
commands normally. Killing X (CTRL+ALT+Backspace) and re-logging in
fixes the problem, but is pretty annoying.

When I logged in my ttyl session to test, I had a message saying that 1
zombie process had been found.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -el | grep Z
F S   UID   PID  PPID  C PRI  NI ADDR SZ WCHAN  TTY          TIME CMD
4 Z     0  5819  5790  0  80   0 -     0 exit   ?        00:00:00 sh <defunct>

Looking at the parent process's ID:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -F -p 5790
UID        PID  PPID  C    SZ   RSS PSR STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root      5790  5774  0  1009  1268   0 Nov10 ?        00:00:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON

I don't now how relevant this is but I'll leave it here.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
Linux gabriel-laptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 
GNU/Linux

Thanks a lot for the help in advance,
Gabriel Gravel
