Crash (without warning) when reading certain sequences of characters

This is reproducible every time with pdf pages that contain certain sequences of characters.
To reproduce
Note: page references are to the gImageReader pages, not the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF.
- Go to ANNA'S ARCHIVE and donwload a pdf of "The Secret Power of Music" (David Tame, 5.8 MB).
- Try to scan a section of the pdf containing either page 200 or page 214.
RESULT: The app works normally until it has finished scanning the page in question, then it. closes/crashes without warning. What the pages have in common is a sequence of em/en (?) dashes connecting words.
Cannot reproduce this with my setup: Debian Linux Testing, gImageReader commit a4820e.
Tested with language en, OCR mode 'hOCR, PDF' on pages 200 and 214, 192-205, 200-215.
Tested with language en, OCR mode 'plain text' on pages 200-215.
I've slightly edited my OP to make clear that the app only crashes after scanning the page in question.
Can you please post a stack trace of the crash?
Can you please post a stack trace of the crash?
If you can supply instructions I'll give it a try.
Actually first step would be to try using the latest version 3.4.1.
Then to get a stack trace, install gdb and:
$ gdb ./gimagereader-qt5 # (or gimagereader-qt6 or gimagereader-gtk depending on which version you are using)
(gdb) run
# Trigger crash
(gdb) bt
and post the output of the gdb bt command.

Yes. Works fine with the latest version. Thanks.
Ok thanks.
