Comment(by alobo):

 I'm away of the machine where I had the problem and cannot verify until
 Wedn.5/11/2010, but
 I bet this was again the problem, as I was actually running points2one
 just before the crash.

 I understand I could have been wrong when I said that the ticket could be
 closed, but the fact is
 that this is an error in a plugin and this track does not follow errors on
 python plugins.

 Nevertheless, as the consequence is very serious for the user and very
 hard for him/her to make the actual link to the plugin:

 1. Could the author of points2one be asked to check the plugin and
 eventually do not keep it
 in the official repository until is fixed? Or at least, could a warning
 message be added to the plugin?

 2. Could QGIS be made more robust to the fact that there is an empty space
 in the encoding field?
