Goldendict exits when attempting to load the japanese - english - japanese dictionaries.
These dicts can be found, packed, here (first 2)

It's due to the shift-jis charset id in bgl_babylon.hh not being recognized by libiconv; use "SHIFT_JIS" instead of "SJIS-WIN" to make it work.
I cannot use svn for now but I'll be glad to contribute directly in the future...
