Description Aaron Walker (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-13 03:13:13 UTC 
If devtodo is run when the TERM env variable is not yet set (for example, if
it loads in your .bash_profile before an Xterm loads while loading X or if
you want to email the output of your todo list in a cronjob), then devtodo
will throw a runtime exception, which in turn calls abort(), which of course
will dump core if the core limit is non-zero.

Of course, this is an upstream bug, but I've attached a patch until it can
be fixed upstream.
