Bug#519758: python-gobject: segfault in _gobject.so

[Julien Lavergne]

Hi,

Let me share what I have found on this, working on the similar bug on
screenlets [1].
After reporting this bug upstream [2], they advise me to change the way
Class are initialized, using class Foo(object) instead of only class
Foo .
This fixed the problem for some users, but not for some others. It seems
now that the bug occurs only when the package is upgraded. If you
install a fresh package, it's work fine (no more segfault).
It's difficult to track it down properly, because I never be able to
reproduce it (trying fresh install and upgrade, on both x86 and amd64).

I hope it will help to find the problem.

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
