So that you don't go on a wild goose chase, I've been testing released 
version of glib from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib, and 
I've determined that the problem does not occur with glib-2.30.3 but 
does occur with glib-2.31.0.

As I said earlier, I don't understand very well how git branches work, 
but I *think* this means we have to look in the 2-32 branch, prior to 
the 2.31.0 tag, to find the problematic commit.  I've checked out the 
2-32 branch, and I guess the next step is to find a problem-free 
revision of that branch, and then bisect between it and the 2.31.0 tag. 
  I'm in the process of reading the git documentation to figure out how 
to do that, but I wouldn't object if someone would save me some time by 
giving me the appropriate git commands.
