Bug Description
Bibletime is a Bible Study front end for the multiplatform "sword" Bible text
facility. Bibletime is specifically aimed at KDE, although runs on Gnome and
other Linux desktops. The package containing the libraries for sword is libsword4.
The current version of libsword4 (v1.5.7-2) fails to start, causing Bibletime to
fail with "segmentation fault" in the command line.
Installing the current default Debian unstable version of libsword4 (v1.5.7-4)
fixes the problem, and Bibletime starts and runs with no problems. Therefore it
appears to be a problem with the version of libsword4 in the Ubuntu repositories.
I placed this under "unknown" as I could not find a suitable entry.

I should mention that I am using Ubuntu Warty, with KDE installed from the
Universe repository. libsword, bibletime etc are all in the Universe repository.
