gnome-terminal crashes on "insert line" sequence
Submitted by Dave Gilbert

Description
Micah Cowan reported the following bug in the Ubuntu launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/501414
"1. Open a fresh gnome-terminal. There must be lines below the prompt to which text has never yet been written. 2. Enter the command: $ printf '\033[L' (the "INSERT LINE" sequence will be sent to gnome-terminal) 3. gnome-terminal crashes.
My assumption is that this is a vte bug; if it's a gnome-terminal bug, please redirect appropriately (I'm on a work machine, and don't want to install xfce4 stuff to check this).
This is on Karmic. gnome-terminal 2.28.1-0ubuntu1, libvte9 1:0.22.2-0ubuntu2"
I can confirm it seems to happen for me as well and in gdb I see:
** Vte:ERROR:/build/buildd/vte-0.22.2/./src/ring.c:532:_vte_ring_remove: assertion failed: (_vte_ring_contains (ring, position))
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
