I noticed it when I tried to branch an xterm off into multiple sessions and
mistyped its name:

`xter m&`

So after experimenting with a ton of different scenarios I've come to this
conclusion:

* both xterm and gnome-terminal crash

* a nested bash session also crashes returning me back to the previous
shell where the wd is ~

* does *not* crash in TTY, nor in nested session *within* TTY.

* only happens when two or more (but not less) directories deep into home
(~), for example, "~/Videos/movies/" or "~/Pictures/vacation/2009".

*Running a non-existent command in the background while two or more
directories deep into home (~) causes bash to crash, but only when in a
terminal emulator*

Why does this happen?
