Dear Maintainer,

I was comparing two files in Meld, when I modified one of them externally (out
of Meld) and then Meld crashed.

The messages appearing in console are:
---------------------------------------------------
(meld:7014): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_rbtree_reorder: assertion 'tree->root->count
== length' failed

(meld:7014): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_rbtree_reorder: assertion 'tree->root->count
== length' failed
**
Gtk:ERROR:/build/gtk+3.0-5i5HPl/gtk+3.0-3.14.4/./gtk/gtkrbtree.c:465:_gtk_rbtree_insert_after:
assertion failed: (_gtk_rbtree_is_nil (tree->root))
Aborted
---------------------------------------------------


I would expect Meld not to crash in this scenario.

Dear Balint,

It seems now that Meld does not always crash under the scenario described
in my initial report.

Cheers.

Hi Manuel,

I tried reproducing the crash with no luck (with updated Jessie packages).
Please provide test case which I can use for reliable reproduction.

Cheers,
Balint
