This was not failing in the autopkgtest for yakkety but does now in a chroot.

Digging into this matter I discovered that using gdb to "print __glib_assert_msg" is resulting in different behavior. With the generated binary, it used to return the following: $2 = 0x7fadc0 "ERROR:<stdin>:2:main: assertion failed (1 < 0): (1 < 0)" However, now I am seeing: (gdb) print __glib_assert_msg $1 = 1332592064 (gdb) print (char*) __glib_assert_msg $2 = 0x4f6dbdc0 <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x4f6dbdc0> This seems to be a regression in gdb itself, I've added an apport task though to track the disabling of the autopkgtest which utilizes this command.
