I can not reproduce this.  As the code where the crash happens has not
changed in months, something else must have.  Have you changed GTK or
X version lately?  Any other changes, such as libc?  It seems Debian
creates a lot of problems I can't reproduce :-)  Are you running Debian
unstable?  I may have to install that somewhere.
