Bug Description
Sorry for logging this under Ubuntu. I used to run Scribus on Ubuntu. We found the bug in both Windows and MacOS, so I suspect it is in Ubuntu as well, but haven't loaded it up to try. I can't figure out how to get a login to log this bug on the main Scribus site.
I am running on MacOSX 10.6.8 (2.2GHz 3GB MBP 15"), but it was originally found by my editor on Windows (not sure what version). Both Scribus 1.4.3 and 1.3.9 crash when attempting to open this particular database, 1.3.9 with a long Apple error message, 1.4.3 hangs.
I fixed the problem by removing three FRAMEOBJECTs. No clue why these were the culprits, just kept deleting then adding back until I had a minimum deletion set.
My editor tends to drag unused items off the side of the printed document without actually deleting them, so there was a collection of 20 - 30 such items. Probably unrelated, but might give a clue as to some special condition that causes the error. The culprit FRAMEOBJECTS related to image objects that had been dragged off the visible part of the document (but many similar others in the file did not cause a crash).
Also, I saw that some FRAMEOBJECTs were left in the .sla even though the objects that they related to had been deleted and in some cases there were exact duplicate FRAMEOBJECTs.
Attached file shows the three culprit FRAMEOBJECTS plus the Apple error dump on the Mac.

I'm closing this bug as invalid, mainly because as you state this is not tried on Ubuntu nor Debian.
Furthermore I'm unable to reproduce this with all my files, and they are full of objects around the printable page.
Please feel free to report any other bug you might encounter on Ubuntu.
