Comment 5 for bug 370978

You're right -- my situation is not a particularly good way to reproduce the issue. It was simply what I was doing when I discovered the issue, and I found this existing report.

As you discovered, the simplest steps are:
    1) install bibledit 2.2-2.1
    2) install bibledit-data 3.7
        (without updating bibledit)

The background for my situation is that I wanted to install 3.7 and not bother debugging the crash in 2.2. I did not want to risk updating libstdc++, etc, to the 9.10 version on my 9.04 system. That is why I was building from source.

I'll take a look at the PPA and see how that works for me.
