I have a different, but possibly related problem. I downloaded,  
compiled and installed  1.3.3.12 yesterday without incident. I used 
./configure|make| make install 
sequence which is simpler for me and still legal AFAIK. 

Build was 12 June 2008, Build ID C-C-T-F-A with Ghostscript version 
8.15.4 on Slack 12. 

Using that fresh install of 1.3.3.12 I created the first part of a 
one-page document with two linked text windows. I saved the document. 
Then I imported a plain text file into the first text window 
using "get text" option.  Scribus crashed instantly without error 
message.  I tried it twice. 

Then I fired up 1.3.3.11 with the saved version of the sla file.   I 
used the exact same method to get the same text file. It imported 
without incident.  

I conclude that 1.3.3.12 referenced as above is not yet stable.  I am 
reverting to 1.3.3.11 for production. If there is a fresh build of 
1.3.3.12 that addresses this specific issue I will test it again. 

Comments/advice are welcome as always.
