The missing link of reproducibility may be using the spin boxes.  I can
confirm this is still a problem in 2.3.3.  If you navigate to any number
of verses simply by entering them, there is no problem.  If you then
navigate using the spin boxes, the next time you change verses by either
entering the verse or by clicking on a verse, BibleTime will segfault -
