Bug Description
Binary package hint: libxml2
This is the second crash today in __xmlParserInpu
UPDATE: After crashes from this all over the place I tracked it down to libxml2 which seems to be being called when a gnome program needs to access the filesystem for example in the file selection dialogue.

Third crash - this time in gnome-session- properties.
Something is definitely broken here.
It seems to happen when I change directory in the file picker dialogue (I was browsing for the program to run on startup) but the folder varies. Sometimes one breaks, next time it might be fine and its another one that crashes it out.
Now four - it just crashed again while I was posting this in gnome-session- properties again.
