Description Christian Persch 2006-12-31 11:22:31 UTC 
Using latest glib HEAD, the plugin viewer crashes on startup:

***MEMORY-ERROR***: [31310]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before GSlice is used, memory corrupted...

Do totem, or the bvw-test have this problem?
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2007-01-11 16:19:33 UTC 
It's the infamous gslice problem, see gtk-devel-list. In latest glib it was changed to a critical warning (but it still indicates a grave bug).

Totem itself calls g_thread_init early enough.

Hopefully...

        * browser-plugin/totem-plugin-viewer.c: (main):
        Call g_thread_init() as soon as possible (Closes: #391263)
