Yes, your last mail had lots of good info in it.

I'm afraid the best advice I have at this point is for you to try
to boil this down to a minimal test case that doesn't link in glib2.
You may be able to do this by copying and pasting the involved part
of glib2 to a test file.  If you can reproduce the problem with
no 3rd party libraries involved, we'll be a lot closer to figuring this out.
Take courage!
