Ah excellent.  I tried this before and gdb just hung loading
libraries, but it just worked.

Here's the bt:

Something in gnomeprint? so 15 ok for guppi?  I saw 0.28 or better and
this is 0.31

Along with this are the messages: from guppi-gnumeric:

nothing from gnumeric.

Trying it again after putting 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,1 in the A

There is no data in the spreadsheet.  But I tried putting numbers down
the first column and it seemed the same crash occured.

Hey.  I have lots to do beyond guppi.  But I am trying. I don't know
why the crash is happening and honestly don't have the time to go
searching through the code.  Any help is much appreciated.  Anyone
want my packaging and/or packages?  And of course I'm available to try
anything.
