Re: All terminal windows close

[Saurabh Barve <sa atmos colostate edu>]

Hi,

I did 'rpm -Va * > /tmp/altered_files.txt. Nothing showed up in the 
file. So, hopefully, none of the rpm's is corupted.

I am able to do 'ls /usr/bin > somefile'. There is no problem with the 
file. I tried running ls for /usr/lib (which has just as many files as 
/usr/bin), but it scrolled without a problem. But 'ls /usr/bin' crashes 
all gnome-terminal windows.
