Re: Crashes with latest gtk+2.0-2.2.2 package

[Art Haas <ahaas@airmail.net>]

Hi.

I'd meant to send this earlier to the list.

The cause of the crashes I've been seeing in gtk have been traced to
glib. There seems to be a memory corruption issue in gunicollate.c. When
I change that file to undefine the symbol __STDC_ISO_10646__ the problem
goes away. I now have my modified glib library running in place of the
Debian package build and the crashes I've seen in eog and gnome-python
are gone.

The function where things go splat is g_utf_collate_key(). I have not
yet been able to determine if the memory corruption occurs in that
function or has occured earlier.
