Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
paste this on your command line:
7&7&7&7&
it tries to open 4 processes '7', probably it will output command '7' not found
4 times. Ok, this is expected.
but try doing this many times fast (by pressing up, enter, up enter....)
sometimes it will crash the terminal.
or use a longer chain eg. 7&7&7&7&7&7&7&7&
sometimes it will crash on even small chains with 2 items, especially if
you have already 'enraged' the terminal session with a big chain.
Is this a security mechanism of the OS to block a process (gnome-
terminal) from using too many resources or is it just a bug?
Using Ubuntu 9.04, already tried that on 3 different computers (all
running Jaunty).
