Ok, I'll look into it. You're finding gschem 1.2.0 seg-faults with libgeda 1.2.1. Apologies for the misunderstanding, I hadn't read the original post properly. I'll see what I can discover. I'd rather not see the package versions upset in Debian unless we have to. I don't think Peter's patch is such a good idea as is, since this will re-introduce a crash bug (albeit an obscure one). If we had to apply something like this, there would be a corresponding fix moved into gschem too. Could you send me the sources for the 1.2.1 packages you're building to save me having to re-work them when testing this out? I wonder if we haven't in-fact brought on a crash elsewhere in the program due to file-version checks. libgeda and gschem know which versions they come from, and it is possible we're looking at a segfault unrelated to ABI changes. Could you post or email me a gdb backtrace, or strace output.
