Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:25:49 EST
start up liferea, wait for it to start rendering some feeds, and after 30 seconds or so, it segfaults with this backtrace...

I can confirm this. Backtrace attached as a file.
Created attachment 125878 [details] Backtrace of liferea crash
I eventually got fed up with liferea's instability and switched to google reader. For all I know, it may be better these days, but given the lack of interest in fixing this over the last two years, we may as well close it out.
