 The gdb warning and the args passed to IA__g_utf16_to_utf8 look like
 either a corrupt stack (e.g. stack being overwritten by program) or gdb
 getting confused.  If you're reporting a bug in an app you compile
 yourself calling into glib and you believe glib is wrong, please send a
 test case.  If you care about iceweasel etc., try the Debian binaries
 and copy the config of the Debian packages as a start: these don't seem
 to trigger SIBGUS.
