Great!

Nope, this is the perfect place.

I appreciate your taking the time to report the crash. I try hard to make 
Tellico an application that doesn't crash. :)

Unfortunately, you're right, there's not enough info in the backtrace to 
figure out exactly what is going on.  I think you need the tellico-dbg 
package, but there doesn't appear to be one in the package list I looked at.

Failing that, if you don't mind, you could send me the collection file 
privately, and I could see if I could reproduce the crash.
