We (threads guys) think it's a problem with konsole. It is trying to change ownership of the pty and is failing to do so. We don't know why. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. konsole aborts itself when it can't change/open the pty, so SIGABRT is expected.
Interestingly, if I use /etc/libmap.conf to map libc_r.(so|so.5) to libc_r.(so.4|so.4) it works starting from within an XTerm, but not from the bar at the bottom.
Now, I have **NOT** rebooted yet.
This seems to have started with thursday's world, the previous world was ~2 weeks ago.
Prior to Thursday, it worked just fine.
I can't explain it. Someone is going to have to debug konsole and figure out what is going on.
It is a problem that has appeared in the last two weeks, and it was triggered by a change in (apparently) libc_r as well as libkse, as it doesn't start with both now. With the patch that Michael Nottebrock provided on this list, it was perfectly possible to run Konsole with libkse (and libc_r) on a -CURRENT from august 15.
So something was broken in the threads code between august 15 and now. I don't think that we should point to Konsole here, something went wrong in the threads code.
Konsole_grantpty was using a buggy hack, which worked because of a bug in libc_r. Maybe the bug in libc_r was fixed, thereby making it work like libkse and libthr (ie, crashing konsole).
Fix: remove konsole_grantpty.
If that does not work, just tell me and I'll eat my own hat.
