Package: xfce4-weather-plugin
Version: 0.4.9-3
Severity: normal

After the 2.10 glib upgrade, a xfce4-panel using xfce4-weather-plugin 
will crash with something like:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x10507c80 ***

It's due to the new slice allocator in glib.
You can see:

A work around is to launch: G_SLICE=always-malloc xfce4-panel

until we fix xfce4-weather-plugin.
