Public bug reported: I found this (binary) file inside of an app called RetroShare. I tried to open it in my running gedit window by drag-and-drop, and my gedit disappeared. I then tried to "gedit <filename>" from the command line. The gedit window opened, was blank for a little bit, and then disapeared, and I got "Segmentation fault" in my terminal.
The offending file is attached.
