scribus-ng crashed with SIGSEGV in QTextCodec::fromUnicode()

[kosson]

Binary package hint: scribus-ng

Sometine crashes with signal 11. The problem is after upgrade to beta something went wrong with Scribus or one of the subsystems that it uses because I cannot export or collect for output.

I see this bug (same backtrace in gdb!) in a fully updated Ubuntu 9.10 release installation with version scribus-ng 1.3.5.dfsg~svn20090208-2ubuntu2 when I try to export to PDF/X-3. This greatly limits the usefulness of this program for professional publishing output!
