http://bugzilla.gnome.org is the place to file bugs against AT-SPI. You'de 
select AT-SPI as the product, and, in this case, you should select 
at-spi2-core as the component, since the bug is in the registry daemon.

Yeah, I can reproduce it. It looks as though it relates to the code that 
tries to detect when processes are hung, and in some case something is 
being freed when it shouldn't or something similar. I need to investigate 
more.

In 2.7.x, applications will automatically re-register, and ATs will 
automatically re-register keystroke listeners, if the registry daemon dies 
and then comes back, so hopefully this is less of an issue now, but the 
crash should be fixed in any case.

Also, something somewhere doesn't handle extremely long lines very well 
(I'm not sure off-hand whether to blame Orca, AT-SPI, gtk+, or some 
combination), but that is a separate issue.

Thanks,
