The 'problem' was in changes of the libwxgtk2.4 library from version 2.4.0 to 
2.4.1 (the current 'unstable' version is 2.4.2) in combination with 
ecosconfig 2.0-0pre2. They broke (unallowed imho) binary compatibility in 
that minor version bump. The result was a crash after clicking 'whatever'. 
This was solved by recompiling the ecosconfig package.

Anyone compiling ecosconfig himself on Debian will not have this problem, but 
since most debian users would just apt-get the package, they could bump into 
this problem.
