Everyone, if you don't have a new stack trace with debug symbols to add to the bug, please don't comment to say that it affects you or that a supposed workaround makes it usable for you. It is not at all helpful to discovering what is actually causing the bug.

I have tried every mentioned thing in this report which claims to result in a crashing software-center, but am unable to get it to crash. I'm sorry if it is crashing for some of you, but a bug which a developer cannot reproduce locally, or which is not obvious through other means (possibly with a full debugging stack trace, though not guaranteed to be, for example), the bug can't be fixed. If anyone who is seeing the crash, and has sufficient skills to understand the code in question, and has signed the Canonical CLA, can create a patch which does fix the problem, it is likely to be accepted. Attaching a patch which comments out a single line of code, which doesn't do what you think it does, however, is not an acceptable solution.
