indicator-weather crashed with SIGSEGV in g_variant_type_info_check()

[Justin]

Occurs randomly without interaction with the indicator. I get other similar crashes (ie a seg fault, no interaction and no obvious precipitating step) with different stack traces. Those are in:
g_hash_table_foreach
g_object_get_property
dbusmenu_menuitem_property_get_variant

I have valgrind logs under all of these conditions. Perhaps the real cause is in dbus/glib or the indicator api.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Yep, the same. It happens every couple days seemingly at random.
