Just guessing, but the backtrace looks like gnome-panel gets a SIGSEGV
due to previous heap corruption, and libgnomeui_segv_handle() calls
functions (in this case free()) that are not safe to be called from
signal context.
If you can reproduce the problem, you could try to launch gnome-panel
with --disable-crash-dialog and see what happens. If my guessing is
right it should die instead of freezing.
