backtrace

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
meld-3.11.3-1.fc21.noarch
glib2-2.41.4-3.fc21.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. meld local base remote --output merged

Actual results:
Segmentation fault in g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a at gtype.c:3981

see attached backtrace

I'm assigning this to meld because I don't see the problem with meld-1.8, while the code seems similar. But it obviously crashes in glib2, so reassign it as you like.

I'm also setting severity to high because it breaks rebase-helper,
which uses meld this way:

I don't see the problem anymore with up-to-date F21, closing.
