Trying to obtain a Valgrind trace with this command:
G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log f-spot

I obtain an error. Check the attachment.

This is the valgrind log found in my home dir.

I'm using an hardy heron alpha 6

i gave you the informations you were asking for (i suppose..) so i re-open the bug and i confirm it on hardy heron alpha 6.

the same problem with my f-spot, both in 8.04 alpa6 and mar-9th daily-build LiveCD
i didn't import any image to it, just open it and scroll the date-bar and close it, then it crashes.

I don't know if it is the same bug, but I got the same error, just trying to cancel an operation and quit f-spot gracefully.

It crashed when i tryed to close it...
Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 6

Same for me.

Same here. Crashes on exit every time.

I've added (/lib/ld-linux.so.2) to this bug's title to differentiate it from bug #197629 - they don't seem to be duplicates.

In bug 197184 [1], Jordi Mas said that it is caused by the mono libraries, not by the program itself, and that Hardy would require an update of said libs.

The problem is still present on the hardy beta

I can confirm there is a problem with the mono libraries and not just this one program. A C# program I wrote myself that worked fine in Gutsy crashes at a certain point in Hardy.

Confirmed - F-Spot would lock up on exit and generate a crash report.

Confirmed segfault hardy amd64.

likely a dup of bug 199496 ?

Confirming with current Hardy and F-Spot. It hangs very often on exit.

This seems to be a duplicate of bug #199496, like Pedro Villavicencio said. I'm marking it as Fix Released, as #199496 has been fixed and I can confirm that gbrainy now no longer segfaults on exit.
