Bug description:
Binary package hint: oregano

This bug should actually be assigned to glib, or libgail i believe, but the package-chooser dialog for reporting bugs is so badly broken i can't tell what packages i'm selecting, so I'm filing it against oregano.

the problem is trying to run oregano, using gnucap, against any valid circuit. The program crashes with a SIGSEV signal... from gdb, i gathered the following:

First try: 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff5408d02 in g_main_context_dispatch () from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

then after installing glib debugging symbols:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffeb14027b in ?? () from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so

then after installing libgail debugging symbols:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
g_main_dispatch (context=0x6c2540)
    at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.2/glib/gmain.c:1973
1973	/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.2/glib/gmain.c: No such file or directory.
	in /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.2/glib/gmain.c

It looks like it's simply looking in the wrong spot for a file... i've attempted to find out which package gmain.c is in so i could try to make the directory structure it's looking for to make it work but i couldn't locate it... it's a shame because I really like this program, and need it urgently, but at least I hope that this can be found/fixed rapidly.
