I can confirm this exact bug, while trying to change the word "arrainment" to "arraignment". Reproduced twice in a row, but I'm not up to doing the valgrind log right now (slow internet connection).

Using Karmic Alpha 64bit, updated this morning, July 21, 2009.

Here's a backtrace, but I don't know if I did it correctly... with gdb running it doesn't actually crash, just freezes and turns dark. Pressing CTRL+C in gdb as recommended here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

just caused gdb to freeze as well.

Downloading valgrind...
