software-center crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[warren]

1) xubuntu 12.10 i386 daily build 16 September 2012
2) software-center 5.3.13
3) I did not expect the software center to crash and kick me out of the desktop so I would have to log back in.
4)I had firefox open looking at xubuntu testcases, so the test case instructions said to install some apps I did. I was in the process of removing the default games in xubuntu and then the software center crashed. After the software center crashed I was kicked out of the desktop. I then had to log back in to the desktop. Both firefox and the software-center were closed at this point wit apport icon on the panel so I ended up in launchpad reporting a sofware-center crash.
