OpenShot hangs when launched

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
OpenShot 1.0.0 downloaded and installed from deb packages from openshotvideo.com.
Ubuntu 9.10, 64 bit on Intel Core 2 Duo Dell laptop, 2 gig memory.

When I launch OpenShot one cpu goes to 100% and the UI is completely unresponsive.  The only way out is to force-quit the application.  This started happening after the first time I used OpenShot to edit a 3.7Gig AVI video.  I right-clicked on the .AVI file on the desktop, selected OpenShot as the application and one cpu went up to 100%.  I figured it was a large file so I gave it some time to process.  I gave it 4 hours.  The UI was unresponsive at that point so I force quit.  Since then, whenever I launch OpenShot one CPU goes to 100%.  Restarting Ubuntu does not help.  Launching OpenShot hangs every time, lauched with or without a file.

Since I did launch OpenShot by itself after installing I cannot say for sure the problem resulted from opening the large file.  It may have hung from a plain launch without a file.  If I launch now using terminal I get the following message.  Maybe that's a clue:
