Bug#770369: Eterm is also broken for me

[S Andreason]

I have the same problem,
OS is Debian Jessie, added the Eterm package, same version number 0.9.6-1
starting Eterm has not only a blank window, but the process runs the cpu 
at 100%, and won't stop even after clicking the close button on the window.

I must manually kill the process to stop it.
My Debian Jessie is up to date, apt-get update today 2015.Sep.06
This bug is over half a year old with no solutions given.
Status please?

What earlier version can I roll back to, to fix this?

From the source tarball listed in the page:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/eterm

at the link in the right :
eterm_0.9.6.orig.tar.gz 



My modification is to just change the line 1564 in src/command.c
from
unsigned short i;
to
unsigned long i;

and recompile, it works for me.

Let me know if it works for you.


Hi Arnaud,

Good job! That fixes the bug.
Eterm is working now.
