Other information:
strace shows the crash happening just after reading the dirdiff.glade
file. I suspect an l10n/unicode issue, though it may be something deeper
in glade.

Comment 1 Alexandre Fayolle 2008-04-21 17:02:24 UTC 
Forgot to tell in the bug report: meld works fine with locale set to fr_FR.UTF-8 or C.
