(gdb) where #0 0x4018af89 in g_list_last (list=0x867bf5c) at glist.c:454 #1 0x4018ac0f in g_list_append (list=0x867bf5c, data=0x87bfe78) at glist.c:181 #2 0x80c0e2e in register_display_procs () #3 0x80c1b20 in document_index_parse_line () (gdb) where #0 0x4018af89 in g_list_last (list=0x86949f8) at glist.c:454 #1 0x4018ac0f in g_list_append (list=0x86949f8, data=0x89675a8) at glist.c:181 #2 0x80c0dc2 in register_display_procs () #3 0x80c1b20 in document_index_parse_line () #4 0x80c1a4d in document_index_add () so, i looked at the index of pictures in the File menu, and noticed that it had one entry only and it was blank, so i figure maybe the code that updates that, given that both reports show document_index_parse_line so, i looked at the file called ideas, which seemed to be the culprint by looking at the code. sure enough it had a long list of file names and what not. i deleted it and now it does not wedge any more. unfortunately i did not keep a copy of the ideas file and i cannot replicate it! aaaaarrrrrrggggghh... anyway, there is some code there that hangs on certain ideas file format. you may want to keep this in mind if others ask with the same question. thanks, -c
