gnome-calculator crash during session login (misclassified?)

[Jerry Quinn]

Hi maintainers,

It is likely this report is misclassified, but I haven't been able to trace it back to the real source.

When I log into a gnome session, I see the following warning in the system log:

I'm having trouble tracing what is going on here, other than there appears to be a segfault related to gnome-calculator.

The following appears relevant:
/usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers/org.gnome.Calculator-search-provider.ini
