I tried too to debug this issue. Here is a short summary. In mainWindow.cpp, function MainGui::fileSaveAs(), there is this call (starting at line 191):
QString fname = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(
this,
tr("Save the HDR..."),
RecentDirHDRSetting,
filetypes
);
During the execution of getSaveFileName, the value of this->currenthdr
gets changed to null, which causes the subsequent segmentation fault
when trying to dereference it (for example, at line 208).
Changing "this" to "null" at line 192 doesn't help. I don't know how
getSaveFileName is able to write things in this. Trying to sort out from
here with gdb or ddd is really difficult: I think that the actual point
where currenthdr is change is MainGui::updateActions() (maniWindow.cpp
at line 277), but it's not clear to me how we arrive to that piece of code.
From the upstream SVN[1] it seems that backporting the "if" clause at
the line 341 fixes this bug without needing the workaround suggested by
Luca Niccoli.

Given that this trick works for me, I'll try to provide a patch and NMU
this bug.
Thanks, Giovanni.
