snes9x-gtk crashes when opening a ROM from "Recently Used"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run snes9x-gtk
2. Go to File -> Open ROM Image -> Recently Used -> Select a ROM and then it 
will segfault.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Well, it just segfaults, this is what I get if I run snes9x-gtk in the terminal:

[diego@myhost ~]$ snes9x-gtk 
Sound buffer size: 4096 (1024 samples)
PulseAudio sound driver initializing...
    --> (32000hz, 16-bit Stereo, 32ms)...OK
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[diego@myhost ~]$ 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

snes9x-gtk 1.53
Arch Linux x86_64

Please provide any additional information below.

I can't think of anything else, please ask me questions if you need more 
information.

FYI, I can only get snes9x-gtk to segfault when I open the ROM from "Recently 
Used", that is:

File -> Open ROM Image -> Recently Used

If I open a ROM from File -> Open ROM Image -> then I click on my home dir and 
then on the ROM image, then it won't crash.

If I load the ROM from File -> Open Recent, that's also fine and it doesn't 
result in crashing.

The crash only happens when I load the ROM from "Recently Used".
