Please run the application you try to debug with "LC_ALL=C", this way
you don't have to translate error messages which is also a very bad
idea since your translation most likely deviates from the
original English error message which means it's very hard to find
bug reports like these when googling the original English error message.

You are reporting a bug against a very old version of mate-terminal. The
wrapper script has been re-written for newer versions of mate-terminal,
you may want to update to a newer version of mate-terminal (and
therefore MATE) first before reporting a bug here. We're not going to
fix bugs in older versions.

That's not a proper patch. Use "diff -u" to create a proper patch.
