Thanks for the bug report.  This is a known issue in rarian that can be tracked at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15274

In future, if you are reporting a crash, please could you attach a stack trace.  This makes it easier for us to trace the issue.  In addition, confirming bugs is normally done by a developer of the product or a (separate) triager.

Marking as NOTGNOME.
