Julien,

The gui-release branch is really meant just for work on the GUI that will
become the 4.0 release.  However, two of the bugs meet the criteria for
critical bug fixes and were backported to the stable branch this morning
(probably simultaneously with your writing your e-mail).  The erroneous
blank line in profiler output is a regression and the interpreter should
never segfault for valid input which covers the other bug.  jwe has started
thinking about the next bug fix release already so it shouldn't be long
before the new code is released.
