Not me. > or has an idea how to debug this? I recently encountered similarly mysterious crashes in some applications. None of my debugging attempts seemed to make much sense, so I ended up going through all the dependencies and reinstalling them one at a time. Lo and behold, the crashes vanished after reinstalling one of the library packages. So apparently the library had somehow got corrupted on the filesystem. No idea if this is a similar issue, but it's definitely something worth trying I think. -- Earthling Michel DÃnzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
