yelp crashed with SIGSEGV in strcmp()

[John Pye]

Binary package hint: yelp

I opened Yelp from the System menu, then selected Advanced Topics, then GNU Info Pages, then GSL, then Gsl-ref. I don't have the gsl-ref-html package installed currently. Yelp works hard on the CPU for a bit, then crashes with the details attached. I reproduced this twice on my system.

I note bug #131059 but that one seems to be fixed, whereas this bug is still apparent in my up-to-date 8.10 system.

I tried installing gsl-doc-html. I still get Yelp quitting out on me, but no apport dialog now.
