Hi Leonard, I researched for settings due to ulimit and core dumps and found it is set hard in a start script! Inspect /etc/init.d/functions lines 136 to 138: # make sure it doesn't core dump anywhere; while this could mask # problems with the daemon, it also closes some security problems ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 Comment line 138. That should it make it for a temporary check why your gnome-terminal crashes.
