Edit: I was 99% sure that this was actually an application bug.
Here is a short 2-line quote from the new masterlist.txt (Hope that is allowed)
//Masterlist variable setup. For BOSS v1.7+.
//Earlier versions of BOSS will ignore this and any other masterlist format v2
stuff.

The problem is the two comment lines beginning "//".
Change that to "\" or "\\" and BOSS will work again.
Edit: Change "//" to anything BUT "//" and BOSS will work.

I just tried in Win7 x64 and it doesn't crash there.
At least we have a workaround until we figure out which distro upgrade that
broke it.

Btw, BOSS has a public svn-repositry at
"http://code.google.com/p/better-oblivion-sorting-software/source/browse/#svn%2Fcode%2Fboss-common%2Ftags%2F1.65%253Fstate%253Dclosed"
