No idea, the strcpy crash is internal to gnome_file_entry_get_full_path(). The bad change came in between -32 and -44 (see my other message). >gnome_file_entry_get_full_path may return NULL, too, so your code (whether >edited for brevity or not) should do some error checking at least. The code had: if (strcmp(buf, "(null)") == 0) *buf = '\0'; Ugly, but it works. At the time (and possibly still today) gnome_file_entry_get_full_path() was undocumented, and this functionality was not complete so I didn't spend a lot of time reverse engineering this function.
