eatmonkey keeps segfaulting

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
After (another) failed search for a download manager that fits my
tastes, I've (once again) reverted to eatmonkey, only to find it still
segfaulting. I very much like its clean interface and would like to
get it up and going on my system. 

I am on Debian testing, with ruby-gnome2-dev 0.19.3-2, aria2
1.10.0-2 and eatmonkey 0.1.4. The programme configures and compiles
just fine, but segfauls either when starting download or when starting
up. 

On a clean start-up (with no config files and after re-install) and
immediate shutdown initiated with the Quit toolbar button, I'm getting
the following: 
liviu at debian-liv:~$ eatmonkey 
["connect"]
./eatmanager.rb: line 27
   Gtk-CRITICAL **:gtk_radio_menu_item_set_group: assertion
`!g_slist_find (group, radio_menu_item)' failed ["ECONNREFUSED",
#<Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)>] ["waiting for
a first response..."] ["started server",
 "aria2c --disable-ipv6=true --enable-xml-rpc
--xml-rpc-listen-port=6801
--conf-path=/home/liviu/.config/eatmonkey/aria2.conf
--log=/home/liviu/.config/eatmonkey/aria2.log --log-level=notice
--dht-file-path=/home/liviu/.config/eatmonkey/dht.dat", 19498] Started

[BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299)
[x86_64-linux]

Aborted


When using the wm to close the app, the shutdown is fine. 
liviu at debian-liv:~$ eatmonkey 
["connect"]
./eatmanager.rb: line 27
   Gtk-CRITICAL **:gtk_radio_menu_item_set_group: assertion
`!g_slist_find (group, radio_menu_item)' failed ["ECONNREFUSED",
#<Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)>] ["waiting for

--conf-path=/home/liviu/.config/eatmonkey/aria2.conf
--log=/home/liviu/.config/eatmonkey/aria2.log --log-level=notice
--dht-file-path=/home/liviu/.config/eatmonkey/dht.dat", 19686] Started
aria2 XML-RPC Server (pid 19686)... ["shutdown", 19686]


However I am more concerned with the following. Using the same  clean
start-up, trying to download the xubuntu image results in a segfault: 
liviu at debian-liv:~$ eatmonkey 
["connect"]
./eatmanager.rb: line 27
   Gtk-CRITICAL **:gtk_radio_menu_item_set_group: assertion
`!g_slist_find (group, radio_menu_item)' failed ["ECONNREFUSED",

Subsequently, trying to relaunch eatmonkey also results in
(intermittent) segfaults (presumably because it retries to download): 
liviu at debian-liv:~$ eatmonkey 
["connect"]
./eatmanager.rb: line 27
   Gtk-CRITICAL **:gtk_radio_menu_item_set_group: assertion
`!g_slist_find (group, radio_menu_item)' failed ./eatmanager.rb:195:in

from ./eataria2.rb:473:in `start' from ./eataria2.rb:469:in `each'
	 from ./eataria2.rb:469:in `start'
	 from ./eat.rb:26:in `call'
	 from ./eat.rb:26:in `main'
	 from ./eat.rb:26


I cannot start it from root, either. 
debian-liv:/home/liviu# eatmonkey 
./eatsettings.rb:52:in `default_values': undefined method `exists?' for
Dir:Class (NoMethodError) from ./eatsettings.rb:74:in `parse'
	from ./eatsettings.rb:28:in `initialize'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/singleton.rb:94:in `new'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/singleton.rb:94:in `instance'
	from ./eat.rb:17

I am attaching my config and log files.

In all, Eatmonkey reliably segfaults when initiating a download. Any
ideas on what's going wrong?
