Care to also share the output of

  $ git gui --version
  $ git --version

as I suspect this to come from git and git-gui not working well together.

FWIW v2.1.4 was released almost 2.5 years ago.

The crash does *not* happen with the version I am running here on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with

	git-gui version 0.21.GITGUI
	git version 2.13.0.windows.1.460.g13f583bedb5

	Tcl/Tk version 8.6.5

Ciao, Johannes
