I get the same crash every time! Is there any workaround? Otherwise, it seems the package is totally broken. Shouldn't this be "grave" then?
And why include it in the stable release at all if it doesn't work? I've seen packages banned for less severe reasons. Apparently, the problem has been known and not fixed for more than half a year, i.e. during the total freeze time. Isn't that what freezes are for?
