Hi,

I'm not quite sure what the problem might be exactly, so I'm sending the
backtrace I get from an update-desktop-database segfaut with the latest FC
Devel before bugzilla'ing it.

# gdb update-desktop-database
[...]
(gdb) set args /usr/share/applications
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications

(gdb)

I think I've been seeing this segfault from %post scriplets for over a week
already.
