Hi all, I can now confirm that the fix mentioned earlier does solve the problem, so it's probably the old and famous bug. I applied the fix to my Scribus1.3cvs at work, and opened the original document, which I was not able to open earlier due to Scribus crashing with signal #6 (or sometimes also with a different signal). Is this fix just a workaround, or will it be part of cvs in the future, so that I do not have to remember it the next time I upgrade from cvs... ;)
Anyway - thanks a lot for the help over Easter - it is much nicer to go on holidays knowing that the things you worked on can actually used by others, and are not stuck in a file which no-one can access.
