Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2006-10-17 19:55:29 UTC

I have added a precondition to error_info_print_with_offset which should
avoid the segfault.  That does not solve the underlying cause, though.

Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2006-10-17 20:31:25 UTC

The change to dynamic gsf types didn't go too well, it seems.

Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.
