I'm sorry I can't provide any more information.  I'm not familiar with 
pan's internal.  Perhaps I was too quick to report the bug against gtk, 
as it might be pan's implementation of the library.  I see now that 
someone has opened a bug against pan with the same description.

Thank you for your quick attention.  I'll let the pan maintainer decide 
where the error lies.  Please disregard & close my report.
