Because reportbug also segfaults due to libglib2.0-0, this bugreport
is very minimal with most informations added manually.

Backtrace of reportbug so far:

emacs segfaults, too, if called without -nw (i.e. with X display):

No time for finding all the appropriate -dbg packages at the
moment. Will add more detailed backtraces later if wanted.

Architecture is i386, distribution is Sid with a few packages from
Experimental.
