[Bug 1003592] [NEW] terminal keeps crashing

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I had a terminal open and it suddenly crashed.

Now it keeps crashing every time I open a new one.
It either crashes immediately at opening, or after a few seconds.

Sometimes it crashes and closes immediately (I can see the error appear
for an instant, see below), other times it shows the error message and
stays open.

Hopefully this will be fixed after reboot.

Here's the error message it shows:


bash: ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/../fork.c:212: __libc_fork: Assertion `({ __typeof (({ struct pthread *__self; asm ("movl %%gs:%c1,%0" : "=r" (__self) : "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, header.self))); __self;})->tid) __value; if (sizeof (__value) == 1) asm volatile ("movb %%gs:%P2,%b0" : "=q" (__value) : "0" (0), "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, tid))); else if (sizeof (__value) == 4) asm volatile ("movl %%gs:%P1,%0" : "=r" (__value) : "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, tid))); else { if (sizeof (__value) != 8) abort (); asm volatile ("movl %%gs:%P1,%%eax\n\t" "movl %%gs:%P2,%%edx" : "=A" (__value) : "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, tid)), "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, tid) + 4)); } __value; }) == ppid' failed.
