Using the startup dialog to try and import results in hang

[zombiepig]

If you load gcstar, and select an "import" option (from the new collection dialog), without first opening a collection or creating a new collection, gcstar hangs with the error:

*** unhandled exception in callback:
*** Can't call method "getGroups" on unblessed reference at /home/nyall/Source/gcstar/gcstar/bin/../lib/gcstar/GCDialogs.pm line 1407.

Can confirm on how to make it happen but my error is slightly different:

Can't call method "getGroups" on unblessed reference at /usr/local/bin/../lib/gcstar/GCDialogs.pm line 1416.
Magic number checking on storable file failed at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Storable.pm line 397, at /usr/local/bin/../lib/gcstar/GCPlugins.pm line 98

Still not working on 14.04.

*** unhandled exception in callback:
*** Can't call method "getGroups" on unblessed reference at /usr/bin/../share/gcstar/lib/GCGraphicComponents/GCDoubleLists.pm line 530.

I am not a PERL programmer, but I could try to help debuging this if someone guides me.
