gitx crashes (most of the time) when I try to open a submodule

crash report on gist: https://gist.github.com/2309575

this happens when double clicking on a submodule in gitx as well as when I simply try to open it from File->Open

Same here.
Maybe this has something to do with new (post git 1.7.8 ?) submodule layout, where ".git" in the submodule folder is a file containing a string like "gitdir: ../../.git/modules/$path".
Previously, it used to be a normal .git/ - dir.

[update:]
i just compiled v0.8.4-94-gb547c26 and the problem seems to be gone. Maybe it is time to replace the downloadable "stable" 0.8.4 binary with a more current version?
