[Bug 38462] PPC Gnome and xfce applications crash in libgobject-2.0.so.0

[jh]

Public bug reported:

Affects: glib2.0 libglib2.0-0 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
On PPC, the Dapper desktop (apt-get dist-upgrade from a working Breezy is unusable, as the majority of Gnome / xfce4 is unusable. It's fine on my AMD64 and IA32 boxen.
(n.b. I chose libglib2.0-0 as the victim because it's the first in the list, may be someone else's problem.)

They crash with (example from gedit)
