Try running gthumb on a directory that is changing. I made the mistake of running it on a directory where I was copying a bunch of pictures into; trying to create thumbnails on files that were being written to blew its cookies. I did more experiments, and the crash is fairly repeatable. You also wind up with defective thumbnails (part of the image on top of a band of solid grey).

This is for whatever version of gthumb is on FC5, I haven't checked to see if the bug has been fixed.
