feels like a dupe of bug #330782 I'll try and roll a fix in time for 2.14.1.
I was not sure, the other one is a segfault, this one is an assertion ...
the assertion is triggered by the progress dialog being accessed while in the wrong state - a consequence of being in the wrong state of the state machine parsing the dictionary output. if only the moby thesaurus put a space before the number of synonyms found it would all work; as it is now, I'll have to put some other guards around the status code parsing.
Reassigning to the correct component.
