seyon crashes on launch

[fdanis]

Binary package hint: seyon

Hello,

I just upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04.
When I tried to launch seyon (version 2.20c-29) I got the following error :

I found the problem in SeString.c file line 107. I attached the patch file.

But it seems to be related to Debian patch file (seyon_2.20c-29.diff.gz at line 2225).

Here is the GDB backtrace :
