I ran the patched program 4 times, each time clicking the first icon a
lot of times to see if I could provoke a crash and I couldn't.
The first time I clicked the icon in the first run, however, I saw a
CRITICAL message in the terminal I ran it from:
address@hidden:~/programs/emacs$ emacs -Q
(emacs:16263): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_get_uri_from_local_path:
assertion `g_path_is_absolute (local_full_path)' failed
address@hidden:~/programs/emacs$ emacs -Q
address@hidden:~/programs/emacs$ emacs -Q
address@hidden:~/programs/emacs$ emacs -Q
address@hidden:~/programs/emacs$
This may of course be completely irrelevant.
