[Launchpad Bug Tracker <620278@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I spent a lot of time browsing the Web and Launchpad before posting;
actually, I did not find any fix to my issue.

My crash appears randomly. It has been happening for months, across many
Lucid upgrades. I updated Lucid yesterday.

It's pretty hard to find constants to help the diagnostic. However :

- the crash ALWAYS happen on keyboard input - and keyboard input only - after pressing the Enter key - but really not often - I can work for hours (or maybe days) before the crash happens
- I am working a lot into xterms, many of my crashes happen into an xterm, but into Firefox as well
- the following string seems to be doomed : many of my crashes happen when I press Enter in the xterm at its end :

cd sancho_ed2k/sancho-0.9.4-59-linux-gtk

this morning's crash happened in this situation.
I must mention that I am connected in this xterm in ssh into a second desktop

After having reentered my session, the same command in the remote ssh
session did not trigger the crash : it looked like some filled buffer
which cannot receive more data and crashed X ?

- changing directory with konqueror does not (seem to) trigger the crash 
- I am not sure at 100%, but it may seem that the crash appears more often with kdm rather than gdm - however, this morning the crash happened with gdm started

When I have time (this evening probably) I will try to follow
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing in order to add some informations
to this case.

Hope a solution will be found, it is a stressful bug

Regards
R. Grasso
