Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Can't reproduce this. Is it still an issue?

Works fine on 3.5.90 here. Closing as fixed.
