Crash in a glib helper thread. Not from VLC.

[Ben Klaasen (ben-fluidlogic)]

What's the corresponding bug ID in glib?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont (rdenis)]

I am not aware of a forwarded bug number. This looks like a crash in AT SPI exit handler and we've got quite a number of those from Apport.

This is a VLC putenv() bug. It should already be fixed in VLC 1.1.0. For VLC 1.0.6, this patch is needed:
