Hi,
as reported on #695838, parcimonie-applet (from the parcimonie
package) segfaults periodically on Wheezy. This does not happen on
current testing/sid.
I have tracked this down to a bug in
libglib-object-introspection-perl, and my Git bisection lead me to
think that the underlying issues was fixed upstream in 0.012 by the
following commit:
commit 1e4f04c1fea19e4d04b0ccf6d7bfc0b353e57562

Use the correct allocator for caller-allocated boxed out-args
Previously, we simply always used malloc(). But for a boxed type, which
has an
associated custom free function, this might not be the correct allocator.
For
example, GtkTreeIter uses GSlice. Make an extra copy of the malloc()-ed
block
to ensure consistency.

Cherry-picking this commit on top of Wheezy's 0.009-1 is enough to fix
this problem for me. FTR, I intend to propose a stable update that
applies this patch.
Cheers,
