reassign 548350 libvte9
thanks

Since I'm seeing the same in the XFCE4 terminal:

#0  0xb7d7097f in ?? () from /usr/lib/libvte.so.9
#1  0xb7d92953 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libvte.so.9

I belive that vte is to blame (which also was just upgraded on my
system) and not gnome-terminal.

So far this Gnome upload has been deserving the name "unstable" ...
evolution: broken by gtkhtml (but a fix is already uploaded)
gnome-terminal: broken by VTE
... I didn't try updating epiphany from gecko to webkit yet.
It makes me wonder why I have been testing the Gnome package in
experimental though, now that all the bugs are only introduced with
uploads to unstable. ;-)

Thanky anyway. Just try to solve this issue soon, not having working
terminals is a major bug.
