When I call massrotate, it says,

i don't see this --- stock updated Fedora Core 1, with Gtk2 1.042.

a backtrace would be helpful. this will enable us to determine whether the crash is the fault of the bindings or of gtk+ or whatever. (i suspect it's not the bindings, as the script appears to do nothing with fonts directly.)

you can get a backtrace from a core dump:

   $ ulimit -c unlimited  # to enable core dumps
   $ massrotate
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)
   $ gdb perl core  # or whatever the actual core.<pid> is
   ...
   gdb>  bt
   [lots of lines showing the stack at the time of the core dump]

or by running perl directly in gdb:

   gdb perl
   ...
   gdb> run /usr/local/bin/massrotate -f
   Segmentation fault
   gdb> bt
   [lots of lines showing the stack at the time of the core dump]
