Just crash at the sturtup on Fedora 41

[thekurtz]

The following dump is produced by starting Alexandria from terminal on an update Fedora 41 OS. I used the software a couple of time and was starting even if showing some problems in windows dimensions, it crashed after clicking to open a book recenly added. After a couple of crashes like that it just stopped to startup. Now lunching from terminal I get:

Hi @thekurtz, it looks like the problem is in a patch that Fedora applies: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/alexandria/blob/rawhide/f/alexandria-0.7.9-yaml-unescape.patch.

Can you please open an issue with Fedora for this?
