Comment 18 for bug 68724

Just ran into that today, looks like a locale specific issue.

My locale is set to en_IN and the coredump looks like this with debug mode build.

0xb7318c53 in strlen () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0 0xb7318c53 in strlen () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

#7 0x081a11b2 in StelUI::update ()
#8 0x0815eb65 in StelApp::update ()

Quick workaround:

bash$ LANG=C stellarium

A patch is in order, because I confirm the bug in the 0.9.x release
of Stellarium - maybe when I get back from Ladakh.
