Re: [orca-list] Orca randomly crashes

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Doug:

Yikes!  This is not good, and getting debugging info from you would be 
great.  There's information on that here:

http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Debugging

In addition, please also keep track of the exact steps you are doing -- 
sometimes 'random' isn't so random, but instead depends upon a sequence 
of operations you're doing.
