We will consider upgrading glib but I don't have time now to check the
details of what has been modified in the version we currently ship.
I've looked for more info about the change you mention.
For future reference:
- It's part of the changes from GLib 2.19.8 to GLib 2.19.9.
- It was discussed in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167569
- The exact changeset is
http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/diff/?id=56f54c0ebc4ab340ba0a5b476c8b5fc2d4352c18

I'm going to commit this patch in our repository to make the MSN crash
disappear for now.

Thanks for the information about the glib change!
