Bug#649336: libglib2.0-0: severe memory problems

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.30.2-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hi.

Since the most recent uploads to unstalbe I see problems like the following:
$ eog Untitled\ 1.png 

GLib-ERROR **: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.30.2/./glib/gmem.c:170: failed to allocate 546343776 bytes
Trace/breakpoint trap

$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1972       1477        495          0         36        292

Swap:            0          0          0



You see there should be pretty enough memory.
Tried it with several pictures.
I even had one case where the whole X server crashed then.


Any ideas?

Chris.
