Hi folks,

i noticed, that DosBOX with --enable-debug flag crashes, if started in small windows.

It just exits without reseting terminal and prints "Segmentation Fault.".

Is that a bug or a feature? 😉

Working on Linux EeePC 2.6.32-020632-generic #020632 SMP Thu Dec 3 10:58:45 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux. (Ubuntu Netbookedition with patched kernel -> 2.6.32)

What does the term 'small windows' refer to?

1+1=10

Sorry,
i mean a 'small' gnome-terminal with (e.g.) 30 lines and 80 cols..

not "windows".

It works without the debug configure flag?

I haven't tried to compile without debug,
but i guess the error is issued by the debug-screen,
because the original ubuntu-package works fine.

(downloaded the source with 'sudo apt-get source dosbox', configured with --enable-debug, compiled it and installed with 'make install')

However, i will start dosbox in 'maximized' terminals
and with a bigger resolution (1024x768 instead of [eeepc original] 1024x600).
By the way, i noticed this issue in 0.73 and 0.74.

try xterm instead of gnometerminal which doesn't support resizing of the terminal. (which is a normal console command)
