Ok, here is what I got:
**** (1) Assert ****
**** (1) pMinDist at fp_Page.cpp:354 ****
**** (1) Continue ? (y/n) [y] :
I say y and it dumps core with a seg fault.

It was harder to produce this time. I tried it without the gtk+ themes and it
didn't seem to work. Then I switched in the one called OldWood and after
flailing about a bit, I was able to make it choke. I'm not absolutely
convinced that this may be related to themes but that might be something you
want to look at.
Do you want the core file? If so, let me know and I will shoot it off to you
;-).
BTW, not a big deal but is there a way to turn off the auto spell checking
yet? I'm not particularly fond of being corrected as I write. It also seems
to bog my machine down a bit.
