OK I found out a workaround: it crashes for me if a comment in an 
input file spans more than 20 lines! So I was able to work around the 
problem by shortening the legal header of gtkctree.h. The problem 
also occured in some of the other files as it turned out.

A bug in the perl version I have here I guess. Maybe a stack overflow 
or whatever.
