Bug Description

Binary package hint: ruby-gnome2

A bug in ruby-gnome2 seems to be causing an intermittent crash in Alexandria. This issue was originally reported at the upstream tracker for Alexandria http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=864&aid=27408&group_id=205

From the error messages, it seems to be the same as the Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519786
Following the recipe for reproducing the bug causes the expected crash on Karmic on i486-linux with libgnome2-ruby version 0.19.0-2ubuntu4 and ruby1.8 version 1.8.7.174-1.

It is reported as fixed in ruby-gnome2 0.19.1 http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?News_20090726_1#Ruby%2FGLib2

Re-syncing from Debian testing (main) to upgrade ruby-gnome2 to version 0.19.1-1 should fix this issue.
