Just insert the value "fwfft A1" in the cell A2. This is how I use it, first to
make a sheet with empty images, then insert real images (and have a
cup of tea until it recalcualtes). Hovewer I don't think it is terribly 
important.
(BTW it would be nice to be able to disable recalculations temporarily --
I haven't found that option, but nevermind).

To the problem itself: I installed the -dbg version of libgnomevfs and
it seems quite strange, because around the line of the crash, they
insert new element in a dynamic array (they call it XdgAliasList, but
it is a dynamic array). The problem is that somehow, a very big number
appeared in the count field, and when they try to realloc the array
to accomodate the new element, it fails. I think I'm gonna post a bug
report against this, because they should always check for null when
mallocing/reallocing. However, the more interesting question is, how
did the big number get in the count field, because the array was initialized
directly above in the stack (function xdg_*_init) (and 0 is inserted in the
count field). I suspect some memory corruption or synchronization problem,
but cannot debug it.

I'm not quite sure if the problem is in nip2 itself, because control hasn't gone
out of libgnomevfs from the moment the array was initialized (and hopefully
OK) to the bad realloc. But why haven't I seen such crashes with other apps
then (gimp?).
