ValueArrays are not SMP safe (patch)

[Wade Menard]

Binary package hint: gtk-sharp2

Joe Shaw has fixed an SMP issue in upstream SVN that Banshee made visible ( bug #38813 )

From his Changelog:
* glib/ValueArray.cs: Don't immediately free ValueArrays; queue
them up to be freed in the main thread by using a Timeout. This
fixes SMP deadlocks when the GValues contained therein aren't
threadsafe (like GDK resources). Fixes Novell bug #168650.

I have applied the patch locally and it appears to have resolved the issue. It would be great if we could get this patch applied to our deb before Dapper's release.

Is there a reason why the novell bugzilla doesn't allow viewing this bug?!

anyway, this is fixed in 2.8.2-0ubuntu5 which will be uploaded in a few seconds :) thanks for reporting
