 GdalTools plugin crashes QGIS when it is installed, and also prevents QGIS
 from starting. I am using the trunk version of both QGIS and GDAL on
 Kubuntu 9.10. If starting QGIS from the console the only message is 'Bus
 Error'.

 I've been poking around the python code and think I have narrowed it down
 to the line
     self.translator.load( self.localePath )
 in the __init__ function. When this line and the following line
 (QCoreApplication.installTranslator( self.translator ) are commented out
 everything works just fine.

 If I write out the contents of self.localePath in a message box it has the
 value
 /home/roland/.qgis/python/plugins/GdalTools/i18n/GdalTools_en_AU.qm
 This directory exists, but the file does not. There are two qm files
 present; GdalTools_ru_RU.qm and GdalTools_uk_UA.qm

 In the Locale settings dialog box the Override System locale box is not
 checked and the additional information list my locale as en_AU.
