Astonishingly, that seems to be a bug in glib's memory allocation. I 
didn't file a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org (yet); however, I reported it 
on the mailing list, see:
http://www.nabble.com/Astonishing-allocation-bug-in-glib-2.16.4-compiled-with-gcc-2.96-to18428394.html

Why didn't that come out before? Or am I missing something? I 
configured mono as

  ./configure \
   --with-gnu-ld\
   --enable-minimal=profiler,reflection_emit,large_code,com,ssa\
   --with-xen_opt=no\
   --with-moonlight=no\
   --with-x=no\
   --with-sigaltstack=no

Is excluding SSA uncommon enough to justify the possibility that a bug 
in glib has remained unnoticed until now? I get the bug on "Compiling 
120 ByteFX.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommandBuilder" in make check. 
Everytime. That is on the mono-107638 snapshot that I retrieved a few 
days ago. In case someone is willing to have a try, I've saved a copy 
in http://www.tana.it/sw/mono/mono-107638.tar.bz2 while glib-2.16.4 is 
still current on http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.16/

Any hint is welcome

TIA
Ale
