Look, right there your can see that the crash has been caused by a SEGV, which is a segmentation fault. As soon as you see that, it's game over: what it means is that a piece of code tried to access an address outside of his process space. This usually happens with pointers, often when a function accesses a struct which either contains a bogus value, or a NULL pointer. So either the developer of the app is not very savvy with programming on UNIX(R), or they're giving you a bunch of bulls**t to get rid of you in a convenient way. Vendors like finger pointing, but all that does is make them lose business...
