Thank for you report, but:
* can you reproduce the crash?
* can you try to get a backtrace by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and on http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/Details. Install packages 'update-manager-core-dbgsym' and 'gdb' and see here for backtrace https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

I can't reproduce the crash on intrepid RC
