Bug#123015: cooledit: Segfault on startup

[Mark Brown <broonie@sirena.org.uk>]

Package: cooledit
Version: 3.17.1-2.4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

On PowerPC cooledit segfaults on startup shortly after displaying the
splash screen.  stracing the dying process shows the last thing it does
as being attempting to open ~/.cedit/.cooledit.ini.  

A backtrace of the crash:

#0  0x0fb24568 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6
