Thanks, but the bug it points to, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631597 stated it's a NOTGNOME issue and the segfault was not due to glib. Also that commit is in the current Ubuntu version, if you would like to request a stable update for it could you follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and provide at least a testcase to recreate the issue?
