What OS are you on? Lots of gtk/gnome apps in the past have had 
problems with debug printfs that don't check for NULL arguments, 
because that doesn't cause a problem on Linux (or BSD for that matter), 
but it will crash in the guts of printf on Solaris (and probably Irix 
and anything else non-glibc/bsd-based).

(Assuming this is the bug, you'll still need to figure out where the 
bad printf is so it can be patched.)
