This bug was fixed in the package vte - 1:0.21.5-0ubuntu1

---------------
vte (1:0.21.5-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream version (LP: #419808)
    - Finish ring rewrite. Scrollback buffer consumes ten times less
      memory now, and better, doesn't allocate from the heap, so closing
      tabs actually releases memory.
    - Remove another stale assert()
    - Oops, use the right map decoding function is iso2022 code
    - Really fix the ring this time
    - Enable g_assert(). May trigger some bogus ones now. Please report.
    - gnome terminal crashes with glibc detected
    - Redesigning the vte buffer ring is going on. Please report any misbehavior
    - gnome-terminal crashed with SIGSEGV after hiting ctrl+o (LP: #408745)
    - text mode program rendering is strange in cjk locale.
    - bashisms in shell scripts
  * Update DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS_ALL in debian/rules
  * debian/patches:
    - remove 01_bashisms.patch: taken upstream
    - refresh 90_autoreconf.patch
