Binary package hint: gedit

gedit just exists when I try to open a zero byte(empty) file.
It's a serious bug.
The OS is ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx 64bit, the kernel version is 2.6.34.020634-generic, and gedit version is 2.30.2-0ubuntu1
It happens when I put "UHC" first in /apps/gedit-2/preferences/encodings/auto_detected.
It doesn't happen when I put "UTF8" the first in it.

The below is what happens if I type "gedit filename", where filename is a file that doesn't contain a single letter.
It's not a non-existent file, but a file that doesn't contain anything in it.

(gedit:2228): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_converter_convert: assertion `outbuf_size > 0' failed
Segmentation fault
