Confirming as per duplicates, and as mentioned in #bugs.

Comment 4 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-04-05 16:27:42 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

Comment 5 Marcel Stimberg 2006-04-05 16:39:18 UTC

I rebuilt the package with the debug flag. This is the gdb output:

(gdb) thread apply all bt
