Thanks for that tip - that will help in future issues :)

I knew about LWP's, but I didn't know enough about gdb to get that far. 
Got the same result as you could see, but obviously that won't work all 
the time...

I'm running a rebuild of glib (both old and new) now, but I did the 
debug prior. There was only one thread as it turned out; when I ran info 
threads it just gave '* 2 Thread 813006800 (LWP 101101/mplayer) 
0x0000000000cdcde6 in _umtx_op_err ()'. Running the bt gave the same 
output as posted previously.

The idea that it is running on a different library may be right - might 
not have got updated or could even be hitting the other glib (choice of 
2.36 or 1.12).

I guess we'll see how the rebuild goes...
