This stack trace looks alot like a mystery problem that was reported in 1.0.6
that I hope was fixed with 1.0.7.  It revolves around mishandling situations
where your locale is mis-installed.

1) try running in locale C
    - that should fix the crash for now

2) try upgrading to 1.0.7
    - that should fix the problem more generally


Either way _please_ contact me to confirm this.  I have not been able to close
these reports becuase no one has been able to confirm that they are fixed.
Comment 2 koalillo 2002-06-17 18:26:04 UTC 
Changing the locale to C solves the problem in both 1.0.6 and 1.0.7,
but 1.0.7 still crashes if importing the file.

BTW, if you need testing with internationalization issues, I'd be
willing to help (ie. I cannot get Spanish characters to display, as in
bug 66270).
