Run it under valgrind with G_SLICE=always-malloc
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-running.html
It will probably tell you that nb points to already-freed memory and
where it was freed. If it's so you need to figure out who does not own
a reference while he should, see also
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/tools-refdb.html
that may help. Or valgrind will tell you that nb is complete rubbish
and why...
