You must have a memory problem somewhere in your code.  Just because
the program dies at that point does not mean the memory problem is
there - it may be somewhere else in your code.  Once you corrupt
memory, it can die at any point later in time.  This is why memory
problems are so difficult to track down and eradicate.

I have a program that uses a clist that has around 700 entries of 9
columns and I've been using it for over a year w/o it every crashing
on various versions of gtk (from 1.0.6 through 1.2.6).
