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!
The problem has since gone away, so I'm afraid I can't get a proper stack trace.
In which case, I'm closing the bug for now. If you're able to reproduce it in the future, then please re-open this bug.

disks-admin has resumed crashing on startup. No repeated error messages this time, just straight to bug buddy. Here's a stacktrace, hope it helps. The crashing is consistent, so I can try to provide more information if needed. Starting program: /usr/bin/disks-admin Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
