We are certainly puting in place some tests that the (line, column) pair
is valid. 
I am not sure however why the gtktextbuffer would raise a fatal error in
such a case. It could print a warning and then default to the last
character on the line for instance. That would seem more user-friendly,
I believe.

Anyway, thanks for your help
