Comment 4 for bug 940638

I've just committed some fixes to the Satellites code to better handle orbit exceptions (e.g. re-entry), and catch some GUI problems which could happen after a satellite was deinitialized due to an orbital calculation exception.

These changes will be available for testing in the RC2 binaries (which will be released next weekend if all goes to plan), or you can build the code in the lp:stellarium/0.11 branch if you want to try them right away (NOTE: these changes are not yet merged into trunk).

If you are still having a problem, one thing which has been a problem in the past is non-default locate settings. Try running Stellarium like this:

  LANC=C stellarium
