Several persons have confirmed getting a segfault when closing Galeon if it still has multiple tabs open. You get a warning about the tabs being open, then when you tell galeon it's ok to close, it crashes with a segmentation fault. This only happens when multiple tabs are open. I'm using Galeon 1.2.3
Galeon was today updated to 1.2.5 via a Portage world update, and this bug still exists.
I would like to confirm that this problem exists for me also, and for a friend of mine also I think.
It happens for me too. Also, this happened when I compiled galeon myself under Slackware previously.
Gentlemen, is this an upstream issue?
I'm sorry. I don't quite understand what you mean with upstream?
yes this is an upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78666

I "solved" this on my machine. Adding a "return;" as the second line of gtk/gtktooltips.c/gtk_tooltips_set_tip did the trick :) Sure, I loose all my tooltips, but guess which one's more important to me, a stable browser, or pretty tooltips?
There has been a discussion about this over at Gentoo's Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=10451 Included is a patch that fixes this problem, without impairing anything else.
