Core dump in libosup

[Niranjan Rao <nhrdls gmail com>]

Hi there,

Brand new to this list, my very first post. Please excuse me if I am not 
providing all the relevant details.

I managed to build webkit gtk build 1.11.92 along with libsoup 2.41.1. I 
am getting  a core dump when trying GtkLauncher test program that comes 
with webkit distribution.

I tried to debug to best of my abilities and figured out that it crashes 
only when url seems to be invalid e.g. http://wwww.google.com (4ws). For 
valid urls it works fine. Further narrowed down to

soup_session_get_connection method in soup_session.c where it makes a 
call to g_object_new.

Also noticed that it works sometimes when stepping through the debugger, 
but when ran from command line as GtkLauncher http://wwww.google.com, 
crashes always. So based on comments in the file,  I am thinking that 
there is some threading issue going on and structures are not 
initialized correctly.. Unfortunately I am not familiar enough to debug 
this further, but can try to do more if some guidance is provided.

This is what gdb says
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
magazine_chain_pop_head (magazine_chunks=0x60df30) at gslice.c:532
532          (*magazine_chunks)->data = chunk->next;


Build Environment:
webkitgtk-1.11.92
libsoup-2.41.1
harfbuzz-0.9.16
gstreamer-1.0.3
gst-plugins-base-1.0.3
glib-networking-2.36.1
glib-2.36.1

On ubuntu 12.10, 64bit.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Niranjan
