Hi,


This patch is not correct for two reasons:

- g_return_if_fail() and similar macros are assertions. They must never
be used for valid control flow.

- @priv at this place can only be NULL/invalid, if @self was
NULL/invalid. From the backtrace you see, that @self is not NULL. You
canot inspect a dangling, invalid pointer to decide that it is invalid.

The patch might accidentally avoid the crash, but it doesn't fix the
bug.
