Sorry for not responding to this earlier; please do file a bug, this sort of crash
shouldn't even be possible.  If you can narrow it down to a particular file or
set of files, it'd be a great help if you could attach the first 100kb or so
of such a file.  A stack trace (see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces) would also
be useful.  In general, debug output like you provided here doesn't help much
when trying to fix crashes.
