Bug#428894: gnome-about: Invalid memory reference

[Arnaud Installe]

Package: gnome-about
Version: 2.18.2-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/gnome-about

*** Please describe what you were doing when the application crashed ***

Ran gnome-about.
Eventually it came to the part where it says "Brought to you by...",
showing a random name first zooming in on it, then zooming out again.
When the name was zoomed out again, gnome-about crashed.

This is 100% reproducible on my machine.
