Additional info:

Running Rewd Hat 9 with all errata applied (as of 12/4/2003) via up2date. 
Problem seemed to start after updae of glibc roughly 24 hours ago.  May be
related to that update or to screen saver

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2003-08-07 21:40:23 UTC 
This may well be fixed in newer vte or gnome-terminal, or at least 
if we upgrade to newer upstream. I *think* I've seen the 
bug report before.
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2003-10-21 19:59:25 UTC 
Should be fixed in rawhide, reopen if not.
