Using the "send hexadecimal" command causes a segmentation fault, especially if a blank sequence is entered, but usually regardless. This is a simple buffer allocation error, combined with a failure to check for zero-length. It has been reported upstream, with notes of how to fix it, but is still open after 16 months. I have a patch that fixes it for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run gtkterm 2.Select "Send hexadecimal" 3.Optionally type in some hex values 4.Hit enter Actual Results: It segfaults Expected Results: If you entered some data it should send it. If not it should do nothing or produce an informative status message

It seems I've actually been using 0.99.7_rc1 for a month and it hasn't shown any problems. Looking at the code, the offending function got completely re-written at some point, probably along with their moving to a different host without closing the old SF project. Thanks.
