Run: ./test-gtest --gtest_filter=*GetManyIcons*

It also passes at times as well.

*Update*
I also just got this while restarting unity...so this seems a bit more serious then a failing unit test:

I got it after doing a compiz --replace ccp, then opening the dash...though I can't reproduce it :(.

I hit the seg fault again running trunk unity, making this critical. Still only happens randomly when restarting unity :(, but fixing that unit tests should also fix this crash, so an easy way to reproduce this would be running that failing unit test!

[Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer)]

Turns out this is an ABI break in lp:fontconfig, and after fixing that theres an ABI break in lp:pango, compiling both those from source has fixed the crash (after running it more then 1000 times).

[Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer)]

Actually looks like we are using non-thread safe code, and lp:fontconfig is thread safe. So we'll have to remove the use of threads surrounding the LoadJobFunc call.

[Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer)]

Right now this seems to only be happening in the tests. Very rarely, if ever in trunk unity. Keeping eye on it.

[Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer)]

*Should* be fixed now that be moved to saucy. I haven't seen the test fail in sometime now.

Fix Released in Unity Unity 7.1.0.
