Comment 31 for bug 419501

Here is the test case that I originally posted in #518269. It is a PyGTK app with a vte Terminal. It uses forkpty() to create a child process inside the terminal. That child process dies with this assertion error when it reaches the raw_input() statement. (Actually, it seems to need some action, a mouse movement or keypress, before the error is thrown.) The parent process survives.

This error occurs in an up-to-date Karmic install, but not on Jaunty. Perhaps someone can try it on Lucid?
