--- Comment #9 from Luke Kendall <luke.kendall at gmail.com> ---
Have you tried searching the source code for the occurrence of the strings:

"!broken!!"
"!br0ken!!"
or even just "!!"?

I would be looking for a use of this in code that could be called when
displaying text in the main document canvas.

I was worried this would be hard to reproduce; this is my best suggestion after
thinking about it for a while.

My guess is that this is a weird end-case and some programmer wisely decided to
display the warning string instead of referencing through a NULL pointer or an
uninitialised data structure it detected.  So based on this logic, my guess is
the text string might occur in only a handful (or even just one) place in the
entire source code.

What do you think?  Has anyone tried that?
