Thanks for bearing with me on this, guys.  This is all new territory for me.

OK, I recompiled gtk+ and pan with the -ggdb3 flag and without
-fomit-frame-pointer.  Of course, now silly Pan won't crash for me. :P

Tomorrow some more new headers should be available and grabbing new headers is
what seems to trigger the problem.  If it won't crash tomorrow, perhaps it's
something odd in my system that only Pan can trigger.  Then it's time for a
emerge -Dupve world to clean the cruft.
