I ran: strace -o debug.txt scribus, and when Scribus opened I opened the 
file and attempted to write the PDF file, with the same results. But 
afterward, I could not find the debug.txt file. Is that it's correct name?

The feature that 1.8 has and I believe 1.2.x doesn't have it text frame 
connecting. That's very useful for my 24-page publication, with several 
articles running from 2 to 8 pages.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks
