Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.8.2-1

A .recently-used file containing just the following (sorry for the
indenting on the URI line - wrapping in mailer messes it up):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RecentFiles>
  <RecentItem>
<URI>http://rankwhere.com/google-page-rank.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ppphoto
graphy.com%2F</URI>
    <Mime-Type>text/html</Mime-Type>

will cause gnome-panel to segv.  I have verified this by creating a new
test account, copying the .recently-used file into the home directory and
gnome-panel will crash on the first login.  Similar bugs existed with
previous versions with invalid URI's, but this one looks valid to me.

I am currently fully up to date against sarge running a custom 2.6.10
kernel.
