Hi ROOT users,

I tried building 5.24 and ran into this problem. So I tried the latest trunk from svn for 5.25, but no luck. :(

It builds just fine without any errors (but a few warnings) with the following options:

> Enabled support for asimage, astiff, builtin_afterimage,
> builtin_ftgl, builtin_freetype, builtin_pcre, builtin_zlib, cint5,
> cintex, exceptions, fftw3, genvector, gsl_shared, mathmore, memstat,
> minuit2, opengl, python, reflex, roofit, shadowpw, shared, soversion,
> ssl, tmva, unuran, xft, xml, xrootd.

When I open a TBrowser and browse a ROOT file with histograms everything is fine. But after I save one of those histograms say as an image or a ROOT macro and then try to close the TBrowser, ROOT segfaults. The TBrowser window freezes, and the whole terminal becomes non-responsive. The only way to kill every thing is to do `kill -9 <PID_for_root PID_for_root.exe>'.

I have attached the error ROOT spits out on segfaulting as a text file.

My system specifications:
2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64
ROOT 5.25/03
g++ (GCC) 4.4.1 20090725 (Red Hat 4.4.1-2)

Thank you for any insights into solving this.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
