Bug#368981: libglib2.0-0: libglib 2.10 produces errors in the form GSlice: failed to allocate 248 bytes

[Felix Seeger]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.10.2-2
Severity: important

Running kde (self compiled) with glib 2.10 often crashes the applications. The error message is:
  ***MEMORY-ERROR***: [25002]: GSlice: failed to allocate 248 bytes (alignment: 256): Das Argument ist ungültig

Most of the time, the problem happens when klicking on a file in a file chooser or the file browser,
depending on the extension (only happens with some extensions). Since kde is not using glib directly
it looks like it is no kde problem. This doesn't happen with the latest glib 2.9 package.
