Confirming (I have too) and assigning to the desktop team.

I have with seahorse 2.22.1-0ubuntu2

FYI, the crash appears to happen when seahorse tries to connect to a keyserver that isn't running. And the fact that there are many dups of the bug under ubuntu and none under other distros suggests that the non-responding server is probably keyserver.ubuntu.com. So if it's easy to make that server a little more reliable, that would keep people from hitting the bug. (The bug itself should probably be fixed by GNOME 2.24.1, next month.)

Confirmed, seahorse also crashes when searching for keys from keyserver.ubuntu.com.

This bug was fixed in the package libsoup2.4 - 2.24.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
libsoup2.4 (2.24.1-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Fixed a crash when unreffing the session from a
      soup_session_queue_message() callback, and added
      regression test. In particular, this fixes a crash in seahorse when
      trying to connect to a non-responsive keyserver. (lp: #198562)
    - Fixed an infinite loop when giving a bad password to a site
      that uses non-standard capitalization in the WWW-Authenticate header
      (eg, gmail.com).
    - Fixed a leak in SoupSessionAsync when using a non-default GMainContext.
      Added additional code to the regression tests to make sure sessions *
      and servers do not get leaked.
    - Fixed a leak in the XML-RPC code
    - Compile fixes for "gcc -pedantic"
      and -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED / -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
    - Patched xmlrpc-test to accept the incorrect response to test_echo()
      that php-xmlrpc gives when it's built against libxml2 >= 2.7.1
      (qv http://bugs.php.net/45996), so that I can "make distcheck"...
    - Updated generated documentation
