Yves-Alexis Perez of Debian pointed out that whether these crashes occur or not may be related to the version of vte. I'll leave it up to him to post a follow-up on that.
Indeed, original tests by Solar Designer and Jason A. Donenfeld might have targeted xfce4-terminal 0.6 which is written in GTK2 and use vte2 while more recent versions (starting 0.8) use GTK3 and vte3. I tried running the perl script with current Debian sid and: xfce4-terminal 0.8.4-1 libvte-2.91-0:amd64 0.46.1-1 libgtk-3-0:amd64 3.22.12-1 I wasn't able to make the process crash (it seems stuck at some point but the window is somehow resized and I don't have access to the content so it' not clear why). Out of curiosity I also tried lxterminal (0.3.0-1) which is vte2 based, along with: libvte9 1:0.28.2-5+b libgtk2.0-0:amd64 2.24.31-2 and I wasn't able to crash the process either. This time the perl process terminates successfully. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
