Why is F-Spot always crashing on my computer?

I'm running Fedora 10 (2.6.25-7 kernel) with Gnome on a custom-built computer that has 2 gig of RAM and an Intel Pentium 4 2.4 gig CPU.

I noticed F-Spot and started playing around with it, importing and tagging pictures and the like. Problem is that after manipulating only one or two photos (rotating 90 degrees, that sort of thing, nothing major), F-Spot crashes itself. It doesn't crash my computer, just closes itself without warning.

This happened several times, so I ran System Manager at the same time so I could track CPU and memory usage while using F-Spot. I found that CPU usage spiked to 100 percent, but RAM and swap were never touched at all, notwithstanding the high CPU usage (RAM was a constant 289 meg used out of 2 Gig available, never changed. Swap was never touched).

No error messages or statements come up. Just the plug is pulled on F-Spot.

So, why is F-Spot crashing? Is this a known bug with Fedora 10? Would forcing the use of RAM help? If so, how?

is there a log massage for the error / crash ?
/var/log/ ( could be massages, xorg0.log, )

also fedora has been known to crash things and have unexplained crashes
seeing as fedora is a FAST , and i do mean VERY FAST, development operating system -- it happens --

what repos do you have turned on ?
but this should not be an issue any more if using rpmfusion

No error messages.

By the way, the version of F-Spot being used is the one that came with the F10 dvd download from Fedora.

Thanks.

Updated F-Spot to the latest available version and it appears to have done the trick. The original F-Spot on my F10 DVD install just didn't like me.
