Very important information, mainly because a gtkhtml (the latest) was fixed
in a NMU, see this IRC transcription from minutes ago:

10:57 < stratus> heikkih: which libgtkhtml you patched?
10:59 < heikkih> stratus: 3.8.1-1
10:59 < heikkih> stratus: my nmu is gtkhtml3.8 (3.8.1-1.1)
11:01 < stratus> heikkih: oh great, FYI balsa (2.3.12-1) was affected
too, see #358781 but the user was using libgtkhtml3.6-18
11:02 < heikkih> stratus: then gtkhtml3.6 probably has a similar bug
11:02 < stratus> heikkih: yes
11:03 < stratus> heikkih: but the latest balsa in sid depends on gtkhtml3.8

You said that you're using balsa from sid, but the latest is 2.3.8-2
and depends on a patched gtkhtml. In your bug report the package
version is 2.3.12-1, where this package came from ?

Thanks, usertagged.
