Right, I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.

I don't think it's glib which is to blame here. It could have been glib
had I used the glib mainloop or something equally insane, but I don't do
that. Of course since I'm not even remotely sure where the problem is, I
can't be 100% sure of that, but I'm /fairly/ sure. I only use glib for
some data types, and in the 2.9-series also for parsing the config file
-- that's it. So I think the problem is elsewhere.

I'll try to focus on this issue now during the next few days; it'd be of
tremendous help if you could help me as much as reasonably possible. So,
could you send me (in private mail):
* If/how this can be reproduced
* A core dump and your compiled binary (if it doesn't segfault, just
  use kill to send it a sig11)
* Perhaps strace output
* A network dump of (part of) a connection where stuff goes wrong
* ... anything else you can come up with and which you think might help
  me.

Thanks,
