Well, if you haven't that just means this is a *weird* bug. What size is the liferea main window when it starts up without crashing? Looking at the code, last-vpane-pos is the size of the feedlist area. It would seem that making it too large gives too litle space to the item views. What I'd like to do is determine what's the minimum size those areas can have and not crash, and then change the code that sets the size from the stored pref to respect that minimum. I'll try to produce a patch to do that and a test package including it sometime this week. Thank you very much for this investigation.
