What were you doing when the application crashed?
Trying to find out how to load a program in a tarball format. 

Running on this old laptop, the help utility was having trouble loading. I have a Compaq Presario 1200.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

In particular, could you please provide a stacktrace with the yelp debug package installed.

This bug looks similar to bug #363506 and bug #364790, though I'm reluctant to mark as duplicates until there is a better stacktrace / similarity in reproducing.
