 38 files changed, 2543 insertions(+), 145 deletions(-)

so the diff is around 2690 lines, 1771 of those being the gdbusdaemon
for win32 use, it means the remaining diff is around 900 lines of actual
changes, it's not trivial but far from the 34k you listed

Bug description:
  Impact: stable update from the upstream serie including a fix for a
  leak affecting the default Ubuntu bug reporting tool (whoopsie)

  Development Fix: the fix is in upstream glib git and will be in q with
  the next update

  Stable Fix: the fix is a one liner, the new version has some extra
  changes

  Test Case: watch the whoopsie memory usage over time, it should be
  stable

  Regression Potential: it's glib, the update should be carefully tested

  I have a 12.04 server running for 7 days and today I noticed some things started to be swapped out.
  top shows:
    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
   1975 whoopsie  20   0 2649m 1.4g  484 S    0 18.5  14:05.67 whoopsie
  with 1.4g residential memory.

  There were 2 crashed applications, facter with .crash file is 2.8Mb and landscape-sysinfo of 17K so it does not look like it is related.
  I will keep the process running in case i can provide more information and will monitor the process to see whether it is leaking memory.
