Heh, I just happen to be CC'ed on all Pan bugs at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ because it's usually me updating the pan
package for Fedora. :)

Anyway, the crash on exit problem seems to be related to the gnome-keyring
code and shouldn't happen if you compile pan with --enable-gkr=no.

Joe, I've slightly updated the instructions on
http://pan.rebelbase.com/bugs/#backtrace, would you be able to follow them?
If you use the official Fedora pan package, you also need to install
debuginfo if it's not already installed:

dnf debuginfo-install pan

I think your crash could be caused by the same problem as the one shown
in this backtrace I generated the other day:

The problem seems to be with the way gnome-keyring is freeing memory on
exit:

https://github.com/GNOME/pan2/blob/master/pan/gui/pan.cc#L1145

Anybody with C++ skills wants to take this one? :)

Cheers,
