Showstopping crash in the panel for 1.4.1

[Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas online no>]

I've been trying to track down this crash in the panel for some time now
with some help from various people. Today I tried starting the panel
with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libefence.so and EF_PROTECT_FREE=1 in gdb and
ran into the following crash:

This crash went away when I ran the panel with LC_ALL=C, so I'm really
wondering what causes this.

Anyway, running the panel with EF_PROTECT_FREE=1 I couldn't get it up
and running even with LC_ALL=C so I tried without that env var set.

Now the panel runs fine and I started trying to reproduce the dreaded
bug

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59500 for those who haven't
tracked bugzilla lately :)

This lead to the following crash:

Which indicates to me that the problem is somewhere in list handling
code.

I'd really appreciate any an all help with tracking down this problem
and I promise I'll have a big chunk of space set off for that person in
the 1.4.1 release announcement ;-)

Glory to be had...come and get it.

PS. The procedure for reproducing the bug is:

1. Open new nautilus window
2. Right click a pdf doc in it
3. Chose open with xpdf
4. Click "Quit" in xpdf

if it doesn't crash here - close the nautilus window and try over. It
usually takes me 5-10 tries to get it.

Cheers
Kjartan
