Hello.

Using the latest release (3.4.0), mlterm sometimes crashes. I think it always happened after pressing backspace. But it could have happened after pressing other keys.

The backtrace from GDB confirms the crash happens in key_pressed().

Attach 'bt full' GDB output.

Thanks for your detailed report.

Please apply http://mlterm.sf.net/mlterm-3.4.0-fix-segv-on-pressing-key.patch
to mlterm-3.4.0 and rebuild it. I think it fixes this problem.

Another workaround is removing a following line in ~/.mlterm/main.
receive_string_via_ucs = true

No crashes in many days.
And I see that 3.4.1 is already released with the fix.

Thank you for taking the time to actively maintain mlterm.
This bug can be closed now.
