[gutsy] gksu displays the g_thread_init memory corruption warning

[Bogdan Butnaru]

Binary package hint: gksu

Hello! I've just noticed that /usr/bin/gksu displays that nasty g_thread_init warning about memory corruption:

bogdanb@cimer:~/.scripts$ gksu echo test

***MEMORY-WARNING***: gksu[31161]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...
test
bogdanb@cimer:~/.scripts$ gksudo echo test

***MEMORY-WARNING***: gksudo[31164]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...
test

Apparently the program works as expected, but warning of memory corruption are scary in a sudo-related program, so I'm marking this as a potential security vulnerability.
