Never that I can think of. I wonder what happens if you do "ls /usr/bin > somefile" on the remote machine. I do not expect that to crash the terminal. So you could then scp the file back to your machine and look at it there. I wondered at first if there was something in the listing which is acting as a sequence of control characters (or whatever the proper term is) on ssh. But if that was the case, then I would expect just your ssh session to die. Not your gnome-terminal too.
