I also just got a crash, using freecol 0.9.2 from the getdeb though.
Just to make sure, it's the same problem: Could you try running freecol from a terminal and look if the output after the crash looks similar to the one I get?

If so, could you also try to try starting java with "-server"? That seems to fix it for me.
