k3b copy protected dvd to iso only causes crash sigsegv

When trying to make a backup copy of a copy protected dvd (The Elegant Universe -- The Nova series on string theorey), K3b crashes and returns a sigsegv.

Specifically:

Open K3b
Click on the Tools Menu --> Copy DVD.
Only change two options:
   (1) Check "Only create image".
   (2) Change destination path ~/movies/Elegant_Universe/ (This directory already exists).
Click Start
CRASH

All of the necessary css packages are installed, and I backed up the disks successfully using:

dd if=/dev/hdc of=Disc1.iso

Which isn't exactly the same thing, but it worked.

SYSTEM SPECS:

Running Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06

Two Optical Drives: (as identified by K3b)
SONY - DVD RW DW-D22A <-- hdc
SONY - DVD-ROW DDU1613 <-- hdd

BACKTRACE: (gaps indicate large expanses of "no debugging symbols found")

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
