Happens also when running `liferea-add-feed` which is a wrapper around `liferea --add-feed`. The latter also causes a crash.

Attached is a strace log, created by running `strace -o liferea-crash.log /usr/bin/liferea --add-feed http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml`.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Which version of liferea are you using? (Or, on which version of Ubuntu
are you running?)

This exact same command doesn't crash for me (on Debian buster in KDE).
The issue may be resolved in the mean time, or we need to figure out
what really triggers the issue.
