Thanks for your bug report! The information that locally-compiled versions also crashes reduces the possible origins. > The segmentation fault does not happen when running the program under gdb. So the bug seems to be a Heisenbug [1]... To reproduce the crash, I tried pdfchain in a clean/fresh Debian Sid and Debian Testing chroot and in a full Debian Sid environment - without any problems. So it seems that the bug is related with your environment. If you start pdfchain in a terminal, are there any messages before it crashing? It would be helpful if you could load the core file, which should be generated after the crash, with gdb: gdb /usr/bin/pdfchain /path/to/core-file analyze it (e.g. "info stack") and send me the results. Installing related *-dbg packages like libgtkmm-3.0-dbg or libglibmm-2.4-dbg could improve the stack dump.
