Ok, I've done all that as you requested. Here's the link to the bug:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596800

Hopefully that'll be enough for a programmer to go on with.
Interestingly enough, I found out that the problem is only one way: if I
merge the record containing no email addresses into the record which
already has some, the crash does not occur. But, while that gives me and
other users a workaround, the situation is clearly not ideal.

Anyway, thanks for the prompt response, and I'll keep an eye on the
Bugzilla.

Ben
