Description Rick Harris 2012-02-02 09:38:36 UTC

This manifested itself for me by causing firefox-9.0 to segfault when trying to print.

I won't waste everyone's time with my own backtrace's and emerge --info, it is exactly the same as already recorded here -> https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28118

A patch is available here -> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543520

I have not verified the patch to work, but downgrading gtk+ back to 2.24.8-r1 did immediately fix the problem for me.

Cheers :)

Thanks for the report! I can confirm the crash, and that the upstream patch fixes it:
