after meeting with diplomats of other nations.

I can confirm it for freeciv 2.2.3. Here's the output of gdb:

Well, maybe, freeciv is also using menus in some unusual ways, cause those (the 
menus) stays with the freeciv window, instead of being displayed in global-menu 
applet. Still the SIGSEGV happens on your "playground"

Hope that helps.

Oh, forgot to mention in my previous comment. The system: Ubuntu Lucid (9.10) 
with global-menu installed from ppa.
