Exactly what versions of libbonobo[ui] do you have installed?

Looks like a race to free an object.  I've seen this before in
gnome-panel.

Yep.  It would be better to make sure we free what we malloc, and only
do so once.  The crash only occurs on -CURRENT due to extra malloc
debugging.  Doing:

# ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf

Will most likely prevent the bus error.

I'll take a look, but I first need to know the exact version of all your
installed ports.
