[ROOT] segmentation violation & stack trace

Hi rooters,
I'm using ROOT version 3.04/02 on a linux red-hat 7.3 platform.
Something seems to be wrong with my installation: each time I do some
dummy mistakes, such as trying to open a non existing file, root complains
with segmentation fault (so far nothing unexpected...) and then starts
generating a "stack trace". The problem is that this operation is never
completed, root gets stuck, there are no CPU-consuming processes
associated with root, but I lose control on the application, and so I'm
left with no other option than killing root. Sometime after this, I also
have to do a "reset" on the window to get the normal prompt.
Often this "stucking segmentation violation" happens just when I want to
quit root after succesfull running, simply after typing ".q"
Do you have any idea what this strange behavior depends on? I observed the
same thing on other PCs

Thank you,

Dario Motta
