w3m hangs on *every* startup on my system. :(

I've applied this patch and rebuilt w3m with debugging symbols. The
patch did not help. Here is a backtrace:

I think this might be libgc1c2 bug, since

1) downgrading libgc1c2 to version 1:6.6-2 makes this error disappear.
2) rebuilding libgc1c2 (apt-get source libgc1c2; sudo apt-get build-dep
   libgc1c2; debuild -uc -us) fails at the `make check' stage.
3) there are other applications which work with libgc1c2 1:6.6-2 but
   fail with 1:6.7-1 (see #369608)

Best regards,
  Alexei.
