"Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors" (or else it
is coming from something else).

I had a look at the code, and there are a number of places where this
could be coming from, so I'm going to need some clues to help narrow
down what's going wrong.

Do you get the same error whether you're starting aven by itself, or
starting it loading a file (e.g. by double clicking the file)?

And does the aven window appear, or just the error dialog?
