If "script" is launched in an xterm (or Eterm) window using the "-e" option, such as "xterm -e script", and the window is resized, the xterm session will die. The script command, however, will still continue to run. This only happens with the script in sys-apps/util-linux-2.13. The version in sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r-r7 does not show this behaviour. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.xterm -e script 2.Resize the xterm window using mouse 3.xterm window will crash 4."ps -eaf |grep script" will show script is still running Actual Results: Xterm or Eterm (the only two terminals I tested) crash Expected Results: I expect the terminal to remain. A resize should not cause the windows to disappear. An strace of a running sys-apps/util-linux-2.13-r1 "script" process launched using "xterm -e script" and the window is resized. The terminal window is killed by the resize and disappears: Process 26816 attached - interrupt to quit read(0, 0x7fffa196a340, 8192) = ?

Process 26816 detached ----------- The next strace is from a running sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r-r7 "script" launched using "xterm -e script" and resizing the terminal window.

reported upstream and they fixed it which ive added to 2.13-r2
