I have seen this, too. There are a couple of situations where scribus 
throws segmentation faults, but I haven't seen one (not any more 
recently, anyway) where it does it systematically. So this is hard to 
debug. It may well be a problem only for Macs, but whether it comes from 
a real bug in qt3 or some other library or is caused by some other 
difference between darwin and linux, I don't know.

If you can identify a situation where the crash happens systematically, 
  we could try to debug it.
