This is a bug in gnome-terminal: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89151 Greets, Antonio. -- 1. Dado un programa, siempre tiene al menos un fallo. 2. Dadas varias lineas de codigo, siempre se pueden acortar a menos lineas. 3. Por induccion, todos los programas se pueden reducir a una linea que no funciona.
