Sorry for not replying sooner--a while ago I tried to set up mago, ran 
into trouble, and then must have started working on something else and 
forgot about your crash.

When I run that test, I get a lot of output--I've placed the log at 
http://mgorse.freeshell.org/gcalctool.txt for now. I don't think I'm 
getting a crash, although it's possible that I am and there's a message 
about it buried somewhere in the 700 odd lines of output.

What versions of gobject-introspection and libffi are you using?

I'm wondering if it's the same issue as bug 673569 / if a dependency needs 
to be upped somewhere (I can't reproduce that crash, either, and in both 
cases it appears to be crashing in a callback created by pygobject, or at 
least I'm guessing that that is the case for the accerciser crash as well, 
since I can't step into the function being called using gdb). I'm using 
python 2.7.1, libffi 4.6.2, pygobject 3.0.4, and gobject-introspection 
1.31.10, for what it's worth.
