Ouch, this is nasty. When running Gnome the new GTK file dialog uses gnome-vfs as a backend, and gnome-vfs creates some threads. But malloc in Emacs can't handle different threads so we crash. One workaround is to set the use-old-gtk-file-dialog variable to t (it looks quite nice on Debian testing).

I can confirm that the workaround works, thanks.  It bring back the
old file selection dialog that I'm used to, which I even prefer.  Btw,
shouldn't that variable be customizable?

It is now customizable, but I had to rename it to x-use-old-gtk-file-dialog.
Sorry for the inconvinience.
