Description Martin Pitt 2012-06-14 17:59:50 UTC 
When the program is found, it works:

$ jhbuild run python3 -c 'from gi.repository import GLib; print(GLib.find_program_in_path("bash"))'
/bin/bash

But if not, and it should return None, it crashes:
$ jhbuild run python3 -c 'from gi.repository import GLib; print(GLib.find_program_in_path("unknown"))'
Segmentation fault
