Personally I've had this combo segfault a couple of times in the past year or so, which never happened with screen or tmux. I've been using dvtm+dtach for a while now and had no problems. abduco also used to leave cruft around if it didn't shut down cleanly (e.g. laptop battery cutting out), which would confuse it when next starting up (trying to attach to a non-existent session). I saw some entries in the changelog which might have fixed this, but I've had no problems from dtach so not felt a reason to switch back.

  As the primary author of these tools, please report core dumps/stack traces of the crashes (if you get hold of them). At least for my use cases, the current git versions seem to be stable ... Having said that, if I ever find the time I would like to overhaul/replace dvtm's terminal emulation component.

    First of all, thanks for DVTM, it's really nice. The crashes I was referring to were seg faults, which happened seemingly at random, several months apart. If I had more useful/reproducible info I would've filed a bug report :( The unclean shutdown issue that I saw in the changelog seems to be https://github.com/martanne/abduco/issues/5 https://github.com/martanne/abduco/issues/5 Before switching to dtach I was working around this by deleting stale sockets in my .xsession file: http://chriswarbo.net/git/warbo-dotfiles/commits/b182acaa1dc89a62eac31a1f0acff5278ee45771/diff-to-619b494b4c2e5f0ca694e863ada16ed57dfa9702.html#xsession http://chriswarbo.net/git/warbo-dotfiles/commits/b182acaa1dc...
