Subject: Seqfault on startup

I often wonder why I get such problems when noone else does, but it
seems important to report them anyway. The most recent build seqfaults
on startup (right after the splash screen appears). Here's the debug
output:
<snip intro debug output>
DEBUG: AP_UnixFrame::initializeDEBUG: EV_UnixMenu::synthesizeMenu
**** (1) Assert ****
**** (1) pAction && (pAction->getMenuId()==id) at ev_Menu_Actions.cpp:152 ****
**** (1) Continue ? (y/n) [y] : y
**** (2) Assert ****
**** (2) pAction at ev_UnixMenu.cpp:416 ****
**** (2) Continue ? (y/n) [y] : y
DEBUG: Oh no - we just segfaulted!
DEBUG: Segfault during filesave - no file saved
And here's the backtrace:

Any thoughts? Might I be doing something wrong?
On a completely alternate note, I've been meaning to ask if there exists
a summary of the acronym prefix names that we use for variables,
functions, and files, such as UT, EV_MLF, PD, PT, PL, px, pf, etc.
Take care,
John
