Err, yes.  Hence the question.  Although I suspect it might also be
possible if the compiler doesn't like you.

But it appears that this is not the problem in this case (I jumped to
that conclusion when I saw the "new" crash was caused by one of the
cases I had not fixed).

BTW: you can have GTK automatically set the pointer to NULL when the
dialog goes away.  Something like

  gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(parent),
                     "destroy",
                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(gtk_widget_destroyed),
                     &parent);

And another note: it is likely this bug is also in the GTK2 client. 
Michael, can you test this?
