Title:
  Gedit crashes when unicode test page is pasted into new document

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  gedit crashes on pasting of certain unicode characters.

  Reproduce:

  1. Open gedit
  2. Copy entire page content from the Unicode 3.2 test page (http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~richard/unicode-sample-3-2.html)
  3. Paste into gedit

  Expected behaviour: I see the text content in the gedit window.

  Actual behaviour: gedit crashes

  Message on the terminal is:

  $ gedit
  *** Error in `gedit': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x00000000023b0ee0 ***
  Aborted

  Using gdb, I see the following:
