  Thanks for the hint.  I've now "solved" the problem.

  Running ldd against the named library I see this:

          libglib-2.0.so.0 => /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00002ac8b5c58000)

  That is *incorrect*,  I have the /lib/libglib* file upon my system
 and no idea where it came from!  The correct files are located in 
 /usr/lib/ - archiving /lib/libglib* made the problem go away.

  (This is the second time I've found my sid system having extra
 libraries in /lib.  The first time I thought it was my fault as
 I was working with .rpm files at the time - but nothing like that
 recently.  If anybody has any experience with this type of problem
 I'd love hints on tracking it down ...)
