Click cancel button when asked to select a .torrent file 3. Click OK on usage dialog 4. Application closes, but Illegal instruction or Segmentation Fault printed to the screen.

Does 0.3.12 segfault? It is the current stable version on alpha. Also, kloeri marked python-2.4.3-r1 stable on alpha 2 days after you made this bug report. After upgrading python are you still experiencing problems? Does btdownloadcurses.py work without segfaulting? Maybe this could be related to wxGTK? There are a few programs that use wxGTK that don't work very well amule (Bug #134792) and audacity (Bug #113119). With audacity I compiled wxGTK with FEATURES="debug" USE="debug" and it stopped segfaulting. Maybe you could try that.
Upgrading python to 2.4.3-r1 does not fix this problem, nor does recompiling wxGTK with debug (although it does fix the audacity problem) Using btdownloadcurses.py does not seem to produce any errors. Reverting to bittornado-0.3.12, I still encounter this error.
Problem: ------- Problem seems to be in wxwindows (wxDirDialog) which is buggy and make bittornado gui segfaults (see #170914). btdownloadgui.py (line 2006) and btcompletedirgui.py are afected. Workaround: ----------- Use the curses based tools from the package, They work just fine. btdownloadcurses.py
The bug is gone using the wxGTK-2.6.0.4 that will be in portage very soon. I'll mark this as FIXED and keyword the latest version of bittornado when it happend. Thanks.
This is fixed with glibc-2.5-r3 and actual wxGTK
