Bug Description

Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Gnome 2.22.0
Help 2.22.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Help by clicking on the lifesaver icon on the panel
2. Type "languages" in the search box and hit Enter
3. Click on the 4th result, "Keeping Your Computer Safe": the window title changes to "Loading...", but nothing is happening
4. Click again on "Keeping Your Computer Safe": Help Center crashes

It does not happen with all resulte, or most of the times, but Help has crashed on me like this three or four times in the last few days.

Please, let me know if more information is needed.

Thank you!

Please, see attachment. Is this what you need? (I have not used the GNU debugger before.)

Thanks. I'm assigning this to Yelp. I can confirm that this is still an issue in Hardy, and there are some duplicates as well.
