It happens on XP but not Windows 7.  I don't know about other versions.

I wasn't suggesting that this is necessarily a glib bug, just that some 
change in glib triggered the problem.  If we could pin down which change 
that was, it would be easier to get the bug fixed, wherever it is.

I'll try to do some bisection as I have time.  But you're familiar with 
glib and I'm not, so maybe you could look over the changes and see if 
you spot anything suspicious.  Also, I'm confused about the various 
branches that I see in the git repository.  There seems to be current 
development on the 2-30 branch, the 2-31 branch, and the 2-32 branch. 
If I find that the problem still exists at the beginning of the 2-32 
branch, how do I go backwards from there?

I've also never worked with git before, so I'd appreciate some advice 
(or a cygport file?) that would help with the bisection.

Thanks.

Ken
