I have 1.3 of either one, works. Can you try to compile with --enable-debug 
and have KDevelop catch the error location?
But I _assume_ that this is related to sword internals and could  not be 
solved by us anyway... I have other problematic modules here which make BT 
crash, trying to figure out...

And if it were a sword problem we could not help it but urge users to upgrade 
their modules.
