[apport] gnome-dictionary crashed with SIGSEGV in definition_found_cb()

[Jesse N. Richardson]

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Crashed right after I looked up a word. I typed in the word pressed enter, saw the definition for a few nanoseconds and gnome-dictionary crashed.

upstream bug comment,

"what was the word you where searching? this looks like bug 465336 - which was
due to an invalid entry in the dictionary itself.

could you please checkout gnome-utils 2.19.90 and look up the same word that
caused the crash?"

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

The fix for 'hominid' in gnome bug 465336 also fixes this bug in latest gutsy for that word.

Please reopen this bug if you still see it crash with a different word (and please cite it).
