Re: Crashes with GTK 2.8.12 and above

[Doug McLain <doug nostar net>]

The the gtk2 version of ardour (www.ardour.org) is randomly crashing in 
the exact same location!  It started when I upgraded from FC4 (gtk2.6) t 
o FC5 (gtk2.8.15).  I also installed debug versions of .16 and .17, my 
backtraces are identical to yours.
