[Dave Bechtel]

re:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611826

Host OS: Debian testing , kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64
o Debian bug found by googling the error message

--Just wanted to report that I was briefly bitten by this bug after upgrading to:

ii  libvte-common                        1:0.28.1-1                           Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ - commo
ii  libvte9                              1:0.28.1-1                           Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ 2.0 - r

--Opening a new tab in gnome-terminal got the error.  Existing tabs, including one running " screen -aAO " were not affected. 

--Opening a new gnome-terminal window from the existing window did not fix; only exiting out of all instances of gnome-terminal and restarting it from scratch did the trick.  Note: Hitting Control-M worked as a jackleg workaround when hitting Enter failed.  

--Trying ' export TERM=rxvt ^M ' from the stricken gnome-terminal did not fix.

--rxvt was not affected by the bug.

// might want to put a big warning message on the package there.
/// Thank you for your support :-)
