Ouch! I'm really curious to know what your program does..

It's a telnet/MUD client. I'll be uploading the source code to CPAN as soon as this segfault is resolved.

in linux have you already tried to upgrade underlying libraries?

Yes, the problem on the Ubuntu forum you referenced does sound a lot like my issue. And replacing the 'exit' statement and using 'Gtk2->main_quit()' instead does indeed remove the segfault.

(I had tried using both ->main_quit and exit together, unsuccesfully; it hadn't occured to me to remove 'exit' and keep ->main_quit).
