Well instead of correcting the symptom, I would prefer to correct the
bug itself. If locking mecahnism is hazardous, then it eman beahavior is
hazardous and that could lead to other bugs later.

Searching for the bug, I saw that, in the past, the very same undefined
behavior caused crash instead of and assert.

But I have no time (and probably not the gtk/glib basic knowledge) to
search for a solution.
