Description Ricardo Branco 2024-01-20 21:09:18 UTC
The following code displays a X as the title of an ANSI terminal. Without the final '\007' the terminal can be locked up.

I think the project in general would benefit from an audit of every line using /proc/*/cmdline, /proc/*/comm, /proc/*/environ and even the symlinks /proc/*/exe & cwd.
