Uh. What a backtrace - I wonder how Bug Buddy managed to do that. When
running gdb manually I get the following. Might make much more sense
(even though the same is included in the above mess).

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Is this a problem in glib/gtk? I do have 2.2.2 installed.

Comment 2 Vesa Halttunen 2003-07-22 21:07:40 UTC

It seems that the Contacts view doesn't have to be open for the crash
to occur but it doesn't happen every time if it isn't.
