Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in
determining the cause of the crash. Please make sure that the package was
compiled with debugging symbols and see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about useful
stack traces.

According to the simple-dup-finder this is a unique stack trace.

There's been no response and I'm fairly sure this is a duplicate of bug 146645,
so I'm going to mark it as such.  If we can get a more complete stack trace and
it says otherwise, we can take a closer look, but I'm pretty sure it's a dupe.
