Segfault in gtkclist.c on removing last row

["Oliver Elphick" <olly lfix co uk>]

I have a program which allows the user to select a row in a glist and click
a button to remove the row.

If I add one row to an empty clist and then remove it, I have no problem,
but if I had more than one row and remove each of them (one at a time), the
program segfaults on removing the last row.

The clist is inside a scrolled window.

Here is the backtrace (gtk+ 1.2.8, Debian package from Helix):

#0  draw_rows (clist=0x889a9b8, area=0xbfffe55c) at gtkclist.c:5957

The segfault is because list is an invalid pointer.  

I haven't got any further with diagnosis, but perhaps someone has an idea
of what is going wrong?

(I won't bother to show the code at this stage, because I am using an
Eiffel wrapper of GTK+; the C code generated by the Eiffel compiler is not
comprehensible to humans.)

I also have a problem with debugging, because if I hit a breakpoint, the whole 
of
X freezes and I have to go to a console window to use the debugger, which is
inconvenient.  It also means I can't use ddd.  Is there any way to get
round this?
