Karmic apps keep crashing on basic_string::assign

[Ilmari Vacklin]

Updated my EEE 900 to Karmic. Now Gwibber, Ubuntu Software Store and perhaps others crash immediately when run with:

wolverian@pupupu:~ (master)$ software-store
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what(): basic_string::assign
Keskeytetty (core dumped)

Apport notices this, but say it can't report it. Now it comes to me that I should probably check if that's reported on apport yet.

I have this problem also, it has been effect for a while now in Karmic

[Mikko Ruohola (polarfox)]

works with:
Launch from console: LANG="C" gwibber

Some translation problems with python software?

Same to me:
Evolution crashes when replying
Pidgin doesn't start
Xchat doesn't start

Same:
Evolution and tomboy affected for me.

Could you please run "software-center --debug" and attach the output here?
