Title:
  gnome-terminal crashes with forked command not found if path is too
  long

Status in “command-not-found” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The affected package could also be the command-not-found package.

  There seems to be a bug with the way either gnome-terminal or command-
  not-found handles unknown commands that are forked. It also seems to
  be dependent on the length of the full path.

  My testcase (which may have to be fiddled with):
  ~$ mkdir 123456789012345678
  ~$ cd 123456789012345678
  ~/123456789012345678$ pwd
  /home/redbrick/123456789012345678
  ~/123456789012345678$ a&
  * gnome-terminal crashes *

  I've reproduced this on three different machines.
