Bug#756197: marked as done (gnome-menus: new upstream version fixes crashes)

[Andreas Cadhalpun]

Control: reopen -1
Control: found -1 3.10.1-1

Hi,

I'm still seeing this crash with gnome-menus 3.10.1.
It is fairly reproducible for me, as it happens often, when I'm 
installing/upgrading some packages, independently whether that is done 
via synaptic, apt or dpkg.

Here is the backtrace from the crash with 3.10.1:

Core was generated by `/usr/bin/gnome-shell'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

The bogus address in frame 0, which leads to the segfault, comes from 
the parent of the parent of the dir in frame 2:
(gdb) frame 2

(gdb) p *dir->parent->parent
Cannot access memory at address 0xe086b2007265746e

I hope someone can fix this.

Best regards,
