That's bad news!

Ummmm, the crash won't get fixed any time soon unless you report it to
the developers.  Can you please tell us:

Details about your machine (Linux? Windows? 32 or 64 bit?)

Which Linux distro or Windows version?

Which version of gerbv are you using?   (FWIW, the current version is
2.0.1, and I would not recommend using anything < 2.0.0.  Please
upgrade if you're still using a 1.X version.)

What did you do to make it crash?  (That is, does it crash on start
up, or do you have a certain Gerber which makes it crash?)

Any other relevant info?

Thanks,

Stuart
(Erstwhile gerbv developer)
