Bug#737309: meld: segfaults when selecting source for directory comparison

[Philipp Huebner]

Package: meld
Version: 1.8.4-1
Severity: important

Hi,
I am unable to use meld for directory comparisons.
As soon as I try to select a drive/folder it crashes.

The warnings below only appear right before the crash.

debalance at emmagan:~$ meld
/usr/bin/meld:172: GtkWarning: gtk_tree_model_filter_get_value: assertion `GTK_TREE_MODEL_FILTER (model)->priv->stamp == iter->stamp' failed
  gtk.main()
/usr/bin/meld:172: Warning: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.4/./gobject/gtype.c:4239: type id `0' is invalid
  gtk.main()
/usr/bin/meld:172: Warning: can't peek value table for type `<invalid>' which is not currently referenced
  gtk.main()
Segmentation fault


File comparisons work without trouble.
