Could you please attach your file "/home/caravena/.transmission/gtk/prefs.ini" ?

Actually, let me change that request... it appears to me that these backtraces are suspect, because (1) they are showing very different crash locations, and (2) ThreadStacktrace.txt (retrace) says that we're crashing in GMemChunk calls inside of GKeyFile in glib 2.16.1, but I've been looking at the source and GKeyFile doesn't call GMemChunk.

So, the first thing to do IMO is to make sure that your libraries are in order. If you're positive that isn't the case, then run Transmission inside of valgrind to figure out where the memory corruption is coming from. If you download Transmission from svn, there's a bash script in the gtk/ directory for running Transmission under valgrind's microscope.

As I discussed on Launchpad, I think this backtrace is suspect because it says that we're crashing inside GMemChunk, called by GKeyFile, in glib 2.16.1. However I've just been looking at glib 2.16.1's source and GMemChunk isn't used by GKeyFile (in fact, since it's deprecated it's not called by any other glib or Transmission code).

So my first thought is that this is some kind of ABI library shear problem, and I suggest you upgrade Transmission and/or build from source to test that way. If a copy of Transmission built from source crashes, I'm very much interested in that.

Also, it would be good if you could provide a valgrind log generated by the bash script from transmission/gtk/my-valgrind.sh in svn.

Marking as invalid because there's nothing usable in the report to date... but obviously if the problem persists in a fresh build I'm very interested in hearing about it.
