For one thing, you're reporting problems here when you are running
something far behind the latest (development) version. For another
thing, you are reporting problems here with a version which was packaged
by other people rather than one which you compiled yourself.

These can be overlooked at times for ordinary usage help, but problem
reports are another matter, and...

...bug reports - particularly including crash reports - are something
else entirely.

As the message says, you need to read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and
follow the instructions, or we probably cannot and almost certainly will
not help.

I'm not sure whether or not those instructions state this, but you also
need to be running the latest development version, preferably a copy
which you compiled yourself. Given how long it has been since the
release of the version you are running, it is very much possible that
the problem you are seeing has already been fixed.
