Bug#650462: gnome-pty-helper: Producing zombies and corrupts UTMP.

Tue Nov 29 22:54:45 UTC 2011

Package: libvte9
Version: 0.28.2-1
Severity: serious

When using lxterminal_0.1.11-1 and libvte9_0.28.2-1 together with either of
openbox, dwm, or wmii, each invokation of lxterminal produzes one zombie
process and one live process. In addition,  /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp
are corrupted.

Downgrading to libvte9_0.24.3-3, but keeping lxterminal_0.1.11-1,
restores correct functionality: no zombie process, and valid UTMP
and WTMP entries.

Best regards,
  Mats Erik Andersson, DM
