I'd also be interested in a stack trace of the crash on 1.4.3. It
"might" be due to the fact that gattrib FTBFS against newer GTK
versions. (What is your GTK version?).

Even though the package currently FTBFS, there is an old built version
on the archive. It will be relying on structure members in GTK which are
no longer updated in the same way as older GTK versions. (Yes, they
broke compatibility, even if the ABI didn't technically change.)

The FTBFS is fixed with a patch in Ubuntu. Perhaps you could try
rebuilding the Ubuntu package on your Debian machine, to see if that
helps fix the crashes.
