Re: Very strange bug - memory alignment - after upgrading to GLib 2.12.4-1

Hi all,

      Some days ago I have posted a piece of code and the description 
of a very strange bug -- up to a certain line, a guint8 variable (part 
of a dinamically-allocated structure) has the value 0; and after a call 
to gtk_combo_box_set_active, which does NOT use the mentioned variable 
as parameter, it gets the value  255 'ÿ' , according to GDB running 
within Anjuta. This thing started to happen after an upgrade to GLib 
2.14, Debian Unstable box.

      Since then I have upgraded GCC to the latest version, but it 
didn´t help. The topic apparently has died, but I still would like to 
know what do you folks think about such thing -- did someone have the 
same problem? Have you heard of something like that before? What could 
be the cause? Do you have any tips? Sorry about insisting in that, the 
topic might not be much interesting, but I really don´t know what could 
be wrong there, and you guys always notice things that we newbies would 
never see...

Thanks and regards!
