That trace is pretty useless and looks corrupted. Where are you getting your packages? While the trace itself is unfortunately not very useful, having information about where you got the packages may help us track them down and make sure they aren't using weird optimizations or something.
Hi, we've found several more reports similar to yours and haven't been able to track it down. Could you please go to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100272 and mention that you were the reporter of bug 89436, and then tell us what distribution you were using (or, if compiling yourself, what compiler version and options)? Thanks. I'm going to just close this instead of reopening and marking as a duplicate--I've already mentioned this bug in 100272.
