(Get the code!)
OK, if we can't get 1.7.1 then it would be great to apply that small patch suggested by the developer.
1. the crash will be experienced by anybody having installed gnumeric and having .csv on his hard disk which gnumeric does not like
2. the patch is very small
3. the patch is approved by upstream
4. it's easy to check whether the patch does fix the crash: we have in this bugreport all the files which triggered crashes so far. run the files through 1.7.0 with the patch and check that they indeed don't crash gnumeric
The problem is that apport makes this problem very visible: you are working normally on your computer, and suddendly you get a window that "ssindex", a program you never heard of, crashed. I'm sure many people will think "VIRUS!!!", plus I don't know how this affects beagle indexing.
