Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.8.2-2 this bug affects gnome-terminal versions at least from 2.8.2-2 to 2.14.1 also affects to the console, virtual terminal (alf-f1...)
the bug can be reproduced doing the following steps, in that order. create a named pipe: $ mkfifo fifo.txt on one terminal, write: $ echo anything > fifo.txt this waits until fifo.txt is opened in the other side. then on another gnome-terminal or on another tab on the same gnome-terminal: $ . fifo.txt this should exec "anything" with the shell. the result is thar the terminal that does "echo anything > fifo.txt" is closed after the call ". fifo.txt" i don't know whether this is a feature or a bug -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.keromail.com
