Hi there.

I try to use valgrind. I then run gnome-help from "inside" valgrind. I
repeated EXACTLY the same steps-actions that usually generate the crash.
No crash happened. See attached file gnome-help-NOT-crash.txt

Then I ran gnome-help alone, without valgrind. I repeated EXACTLY the
same steps-actions that usually generate the crash. I mean, I peform
EXACTLY the same steps-actions as before (with valgrind) and now I get
the crash. See attached files gnome-help-crash-a.txt and gnome-help-
crash-b.txt.

VERY IMPORTANT: when running from inside valgrdin, the printing
procedure displayed the printer (HW) interface, then a pop-up window
came claiming that the requested page to be printed was not "available"
... I cannot imagine what this means. When running alone without
valgrind, the printing procedure crashed BEFORE the printer (HW)
interface comes up, and no pop-up window came out.

It seems that valgrind some how "bounded" the gnome-help behaviour so
that gnome-help succeded in managing a "printing page fault", while
without valgrind gnome-help is not able to manage it.

Sorry for my bad english ... furthermore I'm not an expert ...

Any hint will be appreciated.

Ciao
CM
