Description Mayank Jain 2007-03-03 12:57:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
Devhelp spits a MEMORY-WARNING when invoked from gedit plugin

***MEMORY-WARNING***: devhelp[12881]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called
before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of
g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or
unexpectedly abort soon...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
devhelp-0.13-3.fc7
gedit-2.17.4-1.fc7

How reproducible:
Everytime F7 is pressed from Gedit after enabling the devhelp plugin

Steps to reproduce
1) Run gedit (gedit-2.17.4-1.fc7) from command line
2) Enable Devhelp plugin from the preferences
3) Write any small C program
4) Highlight "main" & press F7 to invoke devhelp
5) Check the MEMORY-WARNING on the gnome-terminal
  
Actual results:
MEMORY-WARNING

Expected results:
No warning
