Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
After a while, on a couple of different machines, I've noticed that the
running gnome-terminal factory will suddenly stop spawning new terminals
when asked.

Running "gnome-terminal" produces no output and returns to the prompt,
no new terminal is opened.

I'll attached an strace of doing that in case it's useful, also I'll
attach one from the factory during that time.

Running "gnome-terminal --disable-factory" opens a new terminal as
expected.

Closing all the running terminals, and running gnome-terminal causes a
new terminal (and factory) to be started and things work as expected
from then on.
