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? -- Braden Best bradentb...@gmail.com (505) 692 0947
