[Qgis-user] Many crashes on ubuntu 8.10 with recommanded binairies

[Paul R]

Hello list,

this is my first post here, and I'd like first to thank all the people
involved in the Quantum GIS project. This looks already great, and
really promising.

I'm here to report a bug, probably in the way ubuntu binairies are
packaged. To reproduce, follow the steps :

1 - you need ubuntu 8.10
2 - follow instructions on http://www.qgis.org/download/binaries.html to
    get the software installed
3 - grab sample data from http://www.qgis.org/download/sample-data.html
4 - run qgis
5 - open the vector layer trees.shp from the samples
6 - open layer properties, go to the symbology tab
7 - change the legend type from "single symbol" to "graduated symbol"
8 - try to classify in 3 classes the AREA_KM2

when pressing the classify button, qgis crashes, with output :

I have some other receipts to make qgis crash by SIGABRT or by segfault,
under fairly standard usage. I'm not sure where the problems are,
though, so I'd like some advices before investigating more or filling
a bug report on the tracker. Thank you in advance.
