If you can download the debug package for your distro, or even download 
the Pan source and build it for yourself and then get the crash 
backtrace, I volunteer to take a look at it.

I've fixed a couple of Pan crashes for myself so I am somewhat familiar.

Run your pan in a terminal window with "gdb pan"
Once it crashes you should be at a gdb prompt that looks like "(gdb)", 
then type "info local" and then type "thread apply all bt" and put the 
results here or in a link like you did before.

"bt" is a shortcut for "backtrace" and what it does it display all of 
the function calls that lead to the current program execution. "thread 
apply all" applies the next command to every thread in the program. So 
it makes a backtrace report for each thread.

"info local" is often not useful because of optimization, but it tries 
to display the values of each variable at the current program location.
