GTK BitchX segfaults on "dumb" terminal working mode startup:

Segmentation fault also appears when I close the BitchX gtk window while connecting to a server.

zsh: segmentation fault  gtkBitchX

There are the same results also on 1.0 versions. Temporary no fix is available.

I've damaged the shell (zsh) logs a bit, sorry, better look at:
