Re: Help with a multi-threaded application. Spot a crash.

[Osmo Antero <osmoma gmail com>]

Hello,
Thank you very much.
I actually commented out pretty much everything but the G_IS_OBJECT().
I took it granted that GRegex was a gobject.
Now learned that it's a POD, Perl Object.

The actual code has also a LockedCounter (mutex controlled) object
that feeds each thread with a unique sequence number. Only the thread
with highest sequence number can tick and change the GUI, others will
simply die away.

Now the project can progress.

Obrigado
 Osmo Antero
