Thanks for the work, but I don't understand, why you modified ABI without changing soname. Now some application crashes, for example liferea: /usr/bin/liferea-bin: Symbol `g_thread_functions_for_glib_use' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking Segmentation fault I found many apps / libs which need rebuild, so please in future change soname or write some note about necessity of relinking. I wouldn't like to find surprises like this in the future.
I'm just as surprised as you are by this. I didn't expect this change to break a large number of applications. I'll figure out a better fix for 2.12.9. It you want to help, you can test the patch in bug 397139.
