[Pkg-qof-maintainers] Bug#360799: gnotime: Crashes when using new glibc memory allocator

[Jason D. Hildebrand]

Package: gnotime
Version: 2.2.2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I recently upgraded to libglib2.0-0 version 2.10.1-2.  Now gnotime
crashes/hangs whenever I try to open the "activity journal" or any other
report.  If gnotime is run from the command line, the following error shows 
up:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x084a3aa8 ***

This appears to be a memory-handling bug in gnotime, exposed by the 
new glib memory allocator.
