Bug Description
Since a few days terminator does not start anymore. When I try to start it from another terminal I get the error: "Bus error (core dumped)"
My syslog shows:

I did already try to remove terminator via apt-get and install it again, but it makes no difference.

Nothing that Terminator does would directly cause this error. These bus errors are usually a symptom of issues with the disks or cabling, or sometimes (very rarely) a kernel update could start causing them.
I *strongly* recommend you back up any data you don't want to lose immediately. Check the SMART parameters in the Disk Utility to see if there are any potential problems with the disk. Then finally (even if SMART reports no errors) do a full disk test from within the SMART section. While that test is running you should monitor the sys logs for more errors.
