Dear all,
The attached pdbs are two identical files from Protein Data Bank. The
one with the original name “2K4G.pdb” will cause Avogadro 1.1.0 to crash
(see 2K4G.log) and just changing the name from “2K4G.pdb” to
"2K4G_avo.pdb" will prevent the software from crashing. Avogadro 1.0.3
does not have this problem. Maybe it’s related to the new Open Babel
version (2.3.1) ? Actually this happens to various files containing
large molecules and the error messages are usually different from one to
another.
I can reproduce the bug on both Windows 7 and OpenSUSE 12.2 platforms.
Am I the only one facing the problem or maybe it is really a bug?
Thanks!

Definitely an odd bug, one that I cannot reproduce here.
But, digging through the sources, I find the error message at the end of
the .log file in the openqube mopac .aux file reader. Are there any files
in the directory with 2K4G.pdb that have a .aux (or similar) extension? Or
have you done any MOPAC calculations on it?
Does it work if you move the pdb file to another directory?
I don’t see this particular error message anywhere else in openbabel or
avogadro, so it definitely seems to be because of a bad .aux file.
If you still see this issue with the pdb file in another directory, we’ll
need to get a backtrace of the crash to really track this down.

Wow, I do have 2K4G.aux (generated by MOPAC2012) in the same directory
as 2K4G.pdb. Once I copy 2K4G.pdb into a new folder, it can be read by
Avogadro 1.1.0 without a problem just like 2K4G_avo.pdb. Simply symlink
2K4G.pdb to another directory cannot solve the problem.
Thanks very much! Now I know what is the problem and how to avoid it.
But still, is Avogadro supposed to read an aux file while loading a pdb
file? If so, can Avogadro continue to load the pdb if something is wrong
in the aux file?
Thanks!

It should, but there seems to be an issue in the mopac aux file reader. Can
you attach the .aux file? I’d like to see what’s causing the crash.

It’s attached in my previous reply. Here it is again.

Speaking of which, if you need it on OpenSuse, let me know and I can show you how to get things compiled from source. Windows is a bit trickier.

Yeah, OpenSUSE is much easier for me. I have some experience with OBS so
I checked out the package, applied the patch and built it locally (and
online). It works great now! 
Thanks so much!
