I get the same thing.  I've found a way to keep it from core-dumping,
however.  I think you'll find that it core-dumps whenever you leave the
cursor on top of one of the menu bar buttons (i.e. the "new" button, the
"save" button, the "render" button, etc).  I think that the fault must
be caused whenever the program tries to generate little help-windows on
those buttons. (you know, the way netscape and many other programs do if
you hold the cursor over a button for a second or two?)

The solution is:  don't leave the cursor hanging about the buttons. :)
