time-admin crashes when selecting time-zone

Crash backtrace

I'm using debootstrapped Edgy install. Using tzconfig, I noticed that timezone was set to 'Unknown' as default.

$ tzconfig
Your current time zone is set to Unknown
Do you want to change that? [n]: y

After I changed the value to 'Europe/Helsinki', time-admin doesn't crash anymore.
This bug should be reproducible if timezone is set to Unknown first.

This also happens when time-admin is launched from Ubiquity on a current Edgy i386 desktop CD.

I've forwarded that issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356761

This upload fixes the issue:

I have a brand new install of Karmic alpha 3, but my time zone crashes. This looks like regression, because I did not have this issue on jaunty. The world map is black with yellow dots and the list with timezones is empty. After opening that selection list, time-admin crashes.
Attachements show console output form time-admin and screenshot from black timezone screen.

Here is my screenshot of black time zone world map.

you need to report a new bug with apport, a screenshot doesn't help at all with a crash.

Ok, well I did a bug report with apport, but I saw this report and reacted.

The report describing the empty timezone and black time zone world map is exactly what occurred to me in Karmic Alpha 4 (clean install).

I got to this bug through apport, and didn't want to report a new bug.
