Noticed this in net-im/gaim and mail-client/evolution, when I opened an IM window or went to compose a new mail message, the apps would crash. An idea from a gaim person led me to disable the interactive spell checking in gaim (gtkspell, based on enchant), and that fixed the problem. Evolution had the same issue (this time gnome-spell, also enchant based), and the same workaround, disable interactive spell checking and the problem goes away. Kind of annoying though.

Justin is this bug reproducible? I supposed it was fixed long time ago...
Ok closing as fixed, since I really think it was fixed long time ago.
