Crashes with binaries compiled from source

[Johannes Kroll <j-kroll gmx de>]

Hello,

I tried to compile Glom from source, but the generated binaries crash
with SIGSEGV/SIGABRT. I did the following:
 - got glom from CVS
 - ran autogen.sh and installed the missing -dev packages (Ubuntu
breezy)
 - make.

I made a backtrace with gdb:

So it crashes while parsing the command line. I didn't give any
commandline parameters. Next, I tried commenting out 2 lines in main.cc,
related to OptionContext:

line 74:
//    context.parse(argc, argv);

and line 94:
was:    Gtk::Main mainInstance(argc, argv, context);
new:    Gtk::Main mainInstance(argc, argv);

After this OptionContext::parse isn't called anymore. But then it
crashed elsewhere. Another backtrace:

And this crash seems completely unrelated to OptionContext.

I later tried the 0.9.1 and 0.9.0 source too, and got the same errors.
So, it could be a wrong library version which causes this. But
configure thinks I have everything.

Any ideas? I will try if it works with jhbuild next but I think I have
to free some hard disk space first. :-)
