Bug#799802: [roxterm] Dodgy filename locks up roxterm during rsync (100% CPU)

[Egmont Koblinger]

Hi,

I cannot reproduce the issue -- in fact, I came across it on the
bugs.debian.org website which is encoded in UTF-8 so it cannot represent
the non-UTF-8 you're talking about. I'm copy-pasting the command but it's
perfectly valid UTF-8 and no lockup happens. It would be great if you could
construct a command line that emits such locking non-UTF-8 (e.g. echo
"\x12\x34..."), whereas the command itself can be copy-pasted from UTF-8
websites.

That being said, I suspect that this bug might be the same as (or similar
to)
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13383
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777733
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730154 comments 4-7

although that wouldn't explain the 100% CPU usage.

cheers,
egmont
