Of course, right after pre6 came out, a new fairly serious crash bug was
found:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414708

Thus there will be a pre7 once that is fixed.

I urge all prerelease testers to take a look at that bug.  It nicely shows
the difference between a stack trace and a way of reproducing the bug. 
With a stack trace, we can make a guess at what may have gone wrong, but
there's no way we can check if we fix it.  Once we have a way to
reproduce, we can dig in with gdb, find out all the details, and we will
be able to check if our fix works.

Bottom line:  When reporting a bug, a simple, consistent way to reproduce
it is worth a thousand stack traces.
