Bug 485950 – dev-libs/glib-2.36.4-r1: printing to pdf file from firefox or seamonkey hangs with "(process:6108): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed"

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Juergen Rose 2013-09-25 08:26:02 UTC]

If I try to print to a pdf file, firefox-24.0-r1 and seamonkey-2.21 are hanging until I kill them with:

rose@leopard:/home_leopard/rose/Txt/projects/IVD_soeren/Cameras/Artemis(32)$ firefox 

(process:22850): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed

Or at the next system with:
