Public bug reported:

Sorry for logging this under Ubuntu. I used to run Scribus on Ubuntu. We
found the bug in both Windows and MacOS, so I suspect it is in Ubuntu as
well, but haven't loaded it up to try. I can't figure out how to get a
login to log this bug on the main Scribus site.

I am running on MacOSX 10.6.8 (2.2GHz 3GB MBP 15"), but it was
originally found by my editor on Windows (not sure what version). Both
Scribus 1.4.3 and 1.3.9 crash when attempting to open this particular
database, 1.3.9 with a long Apple error message, 1.4.3 hangs.

I fixed the problem by removing three FRAMEOBJECTs. No clue why these
were the culprits, just kept deleting then adding back until I had a
minimum deletion set.

My editor tends to drag unused items off the side of the printed
document without actually deleting them, so there was a collection of 20
- 30 such items. Probably unrelated, but might give a clue as to some
special condition that causes the error. The culprit FRAMEOBJECTS
related to image objects that had been dragged off the visible part of
the document (but many similar others in the file did not cause a
crash).

Also, I saw that some FRAMEOBJECTs were left in the .sla even though the
objects that they related to had been deleted and in some cases there
were exact duplicate FRAMEOBJECTs.

Attached file shows the three culprit FRAMEOBJECTS plus the Apple error
dump on the Mac.
