Bug#769947: mate-terminal: Segfaults after update

[Alex Corcoles]

Package: mate-terminal
Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-2
Severity: important

Hi,

After my latest apt-get upgrade, mate-terminal segfaults on start.

$ gdb mate-terminal
GNU gdb (Debian 7.7.1+dfsg-5) 7.7.1

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/mate-terminal [Thread debugging using 
libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
get_initial_workspace () at terminal.c:539
539     terminal.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) where
#0  get_initial_workspace () at terminal.c:539
#1  main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe388) at terminal.c:645
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb) where
No stack.
(gdb) quit

(I'm afraid my gdb skills are pretty much non-existent)

Cheers,

Alex
