segfaults when reading e-book..

Not sure where to report this.

I am trying to read the following e-book in calibre's viewer:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...9&d=1232315662

The book is Neptune Crossing and the author is Jeff Carver.

The cover & the preliminary blurbs are displayed correctly but when I get to the beginning of chapter one, the viewer abruptly closes.

If I launch the standalone ebook-viewer program from a terminal's shell prompt, the same thing happens with the following messages:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
No bp log location saved, using default.
[000:000] Cpu: 6.23.10, x4, 2534Mhz, 8040MB
[000:000] Computer model: Not available
Segmentation fault
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Scanning my hardware, huh...? What gives..?

I turned to FBreader and its rather scary UI, and to my surprise I was able to access the entire book.

I briefly looked at the contents of the zip/epub via vim and did not notice anything out of the way..

Any idea what's going on..?

This is on debian gnu/linux (stable) with a fairly recent copy of calibre (v1.3) downloaded from the official calibre site--not from the debian repositories.

Thanks,

CJ
