 Check the bugs.debian.org documentation on bug severities, critical
 has a particular meaning.

 We could argue for hours on bug severities; consider that = serious
 severity bugs are considered release critical, I'm not sure whether we
 want to block release on this particular bug.

 In all cases, best use of your time is tracking a patch which prevents
 the crash.

This bug was reported over 2 months ago and Lenny will be released soon.
But this bug is still not fixed. Looks like nothing was done to fix it.
I have to say I'm loosing faith in quality of Debian if bugs like this
are just ignored.

Well okey, I admit that my reply was a bit harsh, sorry . If I would
know how to fix that bug I would try to help. I just would like to see
that fixed in final Lenny.

 So perhaps Debian needs some help?

 The bug was not ignored, see the bug log; it was forwarded upstream:
 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549808

 Fixing bugs is not the only way to help; forwarding them upstream for
 instance and talking with upstream, that helps too.

Any bug that causes the equivalent of a crash is critical. I you think
that one can do without that menu item then remove the menu item.

There is no way I can use a program in one of my classes that will hang
if a student selects an obvious menu item to run their program.

What would users of gnumeric say if we just ignore crashes with the
comment just don't do that.
