Bug in glib (LP#1214352)

[Nrbrtx]

Dear all!

I can't understand why you are ignoring my message.
The problem breaks normal work with LibreOffice documents in Ubuntu 12.04.5.
This version is LTS, some users do not want to upgrade it to 14.04.

Please fix this bug.
It makes negative reputation of whole Ubuntu and FOSS software.

With best regards,
Ubuntu user,
Norbert.
