Comment 1 Karl Eichwalder 2005-08-29 16:25:54 UTC 
thanks for the report; I'm able to reproduce it.  It's only uli who thinks
segfaults are accetable ;)
Phillip, can you please tell how to proceed?  Reporting the bug upstream?
I'll attach a test file.

I'll have a look at both pstoedit and libEMF and see if I can determine what is
going wrong.
Comment 4 Philipp Thomas 2005-08-31 14:51:57 UTC 
OK, I traced it to an error somewhere when creating a backend, but it would be
too time consuming to track this further.

I just tested with pstoedit 1.41 and I couldn't trigger the SIGSEGV anymore. It
could of cause be a latent bug only hidden in the new release, but I'd vote for
a version update given that aj gives his OK.

Update approved.
