[Bug 955546] Re: gnome-terminal crashes with forked command not found if path is too long

[Paul White]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a
currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and
in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire
in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
  gnome-terminal crashes with forked command not found if path is too
  long

Status in command-not-found package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The affected package could also be the command-not-found package.

  There seems to be a bug with the way either gnome-terminal or command-
  not-found handles unknown commands that are forked. It also seems to
  be dependent on the length of the full path.

  My testcase (which may have to be fiddled with):
  ~$ mkdir 123456789012345678
  ~$ cd 123456789012345678
  ~/123456789012345678$ pwd
  /home/redbrick/123456789012345678
  ~/123456789012345678$ a&
  * gnome-terminal crashes *

  I've reproduced this on three different machines.
