Please help me to understand why you were expecting a _text_ editor to open a _media_ file.
Well, gedit should not crash also when you try to open a file that it cannot open. It is not clear from the stack trace but this is most probably an out-of-memory problem, a well known problem in gedit when opening very big files.

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 and reopen this bug or report a new one. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I tried to reproduce it today with gedit 2.21.1 and gedit simply disappears. When I launch it from konsole, the following is left there: [hajma@localhost ~]$ gedit GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:135: failed to allocate 1887294131 bytes aborting... Trasovací/ladící past (SIGTRAP) [hajma@localhost ~]$
