Original bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/509582

This bug only occurs in a non-UTF8 locale (e.g. fr_FR@euro), when using local encoding filenames, with or without G_BROKEN_FILENAMES.

To reproduce it:
 mkdir /tmp/toto
 echo text > /tmp/toto/AA1-XxxxxXxxxxxxxé  (the filename must be in iso8859-1 encoding here)
Then try to open this file with the file chooser in gedit.

To be sure to see the bug it is better to set MALLOC_CHECK_=2. In which case, the libc always aborts at xdgmimeglob.c:401 (free(ucs4);).

The reason is that, in this case, g_content_type_guess passes an invalid UTF8 string to xdg_mime_get_mime_types_from_file_name, and the XDG functions all assume their input is valid UTF8.
