Bug#666691: libglib2.0-0 makes emacs23 freeze in terminal mode

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.32.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
+ possible data loss from the shell

After upgrading to libglib2.0-0 2.32.0-2 or 2.32.0-3, emacs freezes in
terminal mode (e.g. with "emacs -nw" or via ssh without X forwarding)
and takes 100% CPU. Ctrl-G has no effect; it is not possible to quit
(or kill) from the terminal. This occurs at least with xterm and
gnome-terminal. If emacs is killed (e.g. with the kill command from
another terminal), the typed characters are transmitted to the shell.

There is no such problem with libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-6.
