Hmm, I'm not running HEAD at the moment, but my somewhat older CVS
Gnumeric build crashes under the following circumstances

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_GB

... if I type a £ (GBP symbol) or accented character, sch as those
which are found in Latin-1 and then try to change to a different cell
(e.g. by pressing cursor arrow down) the crash dialog appears. With
just the LANG setting Gnumeric works entirely as expected of course.

Someone with current CVS might like to check this works as expected,
because if this doesn't work, other combinations might not work either.

Nick.
