Bug#364944: gnome-keyboard-properties crashes whole computer with Super_L

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 2.12.3

Exact program: gnome-keyboard-properties

I get errors on my console after X crashes, like this:
*** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x0000003b ***
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x084c7b58 ***

To duplicate the bug, I do this: Load the gnome keyboard properties. Go to
Layout Options, go to Alt/Win key behavior, and selected Add the standard
behavior to Menu Key

This will lock my system. I cannot type (caps lock won't work, keyboard is
dead), the only option is to hard shut off my system, edit the files in
.gconf and remove this option so I can log back in to my computer.
Otherwise, it will continue to crash ever log in.

Kernel 2.6.16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2006-04-17 18:16 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.6.so

This is a serious bug to me... I was stuck for a day, re creating my
profile and everything tracking this bug down.
