glib-2.22.5, gtk-2.18.8 and firefox 3.6

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

I just built and installed the newly-announced glib-2.22.5 and
gtk-2.18.8, and restarted X.  After doing so, firefox 3.6 will
not run; it reliably segfaults on startup.  I then rebuilt
and reinstalled glib-2.22.4 and gtk-2.18.7 and firefox runs
OK again.

I realize that the following trace is probably not much use but it
may be better than nothing.

Backtrace was generated from 'Gecko'
