Package: gtk+
Version: 1.2.6, 1.2.10, 2.0.2 (probably all)

gtk_curve_set_curve_type inherently assumes the widget is
mapped/realized (has width and height > 0) and thus crashes 
when called before mapping/realizing.

assert-failure-provoking code for gtk+-1.2:

/* 
 * makes GLib abort with the message 'could not allocate -20 bytes'.
 */

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main (int argc, char ** argv)
{
        GtkWidget * c;
        
        gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
        
        c = gtk_curve_new();
        gtk_curve_set_curve_type (c,
		(GtkCurveType) GTK_CURVE_TYPE_LINEAR);

        return 0;
}
