The bug also occurs with gnome-system-tools_2.15.5-0ubuntu4_i386.deb and system-tools-backends_1.9.7-0ubuntu4_all.deb
And downgrading further to 2.15.5-0ubuntu2, and installing the debug symbols, I get the following trace (I'll attach the valgrind log shortly): Distribution: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) Gnome Release: 2.16.1 2006-10-02 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.16.0 Memory status: size: 50540544 vsize: 0 resident: 50540544 share: 0 rss: 11255808 rss_rlim: 0 CPU usage: start_time: 1169104827 rtime: 0 utime: 79 stime: 0 cutime:77 cstime: 0 timeout: 2 it_real_value: 0 frequency: 0 Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/network-admin' Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
