Comment 1 noel 2007-08-28 19:06:33 UTC

You are running Debian sid?

Please tell me which version of libxml2 you are using? 2.6.29.dfsg-1 or
2.6.30.dfsg-1

Comment 2 Anton Sherkhonov 2007-08-28 19:16:54 UTC

yes, it's Debian sid

libxml2 ver. 2.6.30.dfsg-1

Comment 3 noel 2007-08-28 19:18:50 UTC

ok. You have to downgrade to 2.6.29.dfsg-1 to fix the crashes.

There is a Debian bug report at http://bugs.debian.org/439843 which pointed me
to the problem.
Downgrading fixed it for me.

I dont have the needed right to do it in bugzilla but this is a dupe of 470817
if the libxml downgrade fix your problem.

Comment 4 Tobias Mueller 2008-08-27 21:49:38 UTC

Closing as dup as per comment #3
