Crash when new layer is added

I'm working on an Ubuntu 11.10 system (32bit), and whenever I try to add a new layer, Bricscad crashes.
Any way to overcome this?

Btw, just started testing Bricscad today and I love it (when it works). I used to work with autoCAD, inventor, solidEdge, solidWorks... But since I'm a fulltime linux user, a decent intuitive 3D CADsuite was missing until I stumbled up on this.
