Bug Report

[Evan Cox]

Hi, I've been getting lots of crashes with terminator. I just had MIS install it on my work computer
last week since I was looking for a terminal with horizontal scroll bars. But it's been very buggy.
Here's the latest crash report. I've got more if you want them.

I believe this error happened after I hit close on the show info pop up.

Log attached. Error message follows.

Wow, there's a blast from the past.  This looks highly abnormal:

That would seem to be a bug in your JRE.  Looks a bit like:

http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6678385

If I read that right, that says it's fixed in Java 7, which is perhaps not a great deal of use on such an old installation.  Google shows me indications of a "backpatched" version of "icedtea" and a version number for an IBM JRE with the fix.
