In the mean while i decided to do a pkg_delete -a followed by a fresh gnome install from standard ports instead of Joe Marcus Clarke's MC-gnome tree .. and it looks like the main culprit is glib-2.9.2 as the observed GTK-problems do not occur with the glib20 port that is currently in the main ports-tree. So i think it's safe to assume glib-2.9.2 is seriously busted and jemalloc just happened to Really get pissed about it :) I did encounter a malloc bug that's triggered by Evolution resulting in a runaway process that basically eats up all memory+swap before the kernel shoots it down .. but i am trying to get gnome@ to help me out on that one. But overall i think it's safe to assume that the gtk-issue i reported earlier is linked to a malloc bug in glib-2.9.2 which is included in the MC-gnome tree. -- Pascal Hofstee
