      Title: Improved Stability for GNOME Terminal with Memory Leak Fix

      Description:
      A new version of GNOME Terminal resolves a segmentation fault issue that may occur when utilizing high-resource commands such as TOP and HTOP over extended periods, like weeks or months. This fix improves the terminal's memory management during prolonged use, reducing crashes, and ensuring smooth operation for an improved user experience.

      Fix Details:
      We have developed a solution to correct the segmentation fault problem in GNOME Terminal, which enhances its memory management effectively during continuous usage of these high-resource commands. This enhancement leads to increased stability and longevity by addressing log file management during extended command sessions, thereby minimizing crashes.

      Outcome:
      By implementing this fix, the terminal's overall stability is significantly improved, resulting in fewer crashes over time and a better user experience for those who often use high-resource commands such as TOP and HTOP.
