Description Eli Dupree 2014-03-20 02:45:35 UTC 
Run gdb (GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6.2 (Debian 7.6.2-1)), type the forward-delete key, then type the tab key. When I do this, gdb segfaults.

Someone else running 7.6.1 told me they couldn't reproduce this.

I've tried this on HEAD and 7.6.2-20140108-cvs, and I am having difficulty reproducing this:

$ ./gdb -data-directory data-directory -nx -q
(gdb) [type DEL][type TAB]

Nothing happens. Also tried:

(gdb) brek [type LARROW][type DEL][type TAB]

This changes "brek" to "break" as expected.

I also tried TUI. While that didn't do what I expected, it did not crash. Was TUI involved?

Can't reproduce it either.

Eli, if you can still reproduce this, feel free to reopen.

Thanks.
