I have built glib in debug mode using "brew install --test" and had it tested 
on the faulty machines (I cannot physically go there). But this does not give 
any more specific information on the faulty line.

How can I ask the user to do this ? He does not have a development machine...

I built it against glib 2.26.3, using homebrew, by doing a "brew install 
--universal glib" command. This is on my Mac 10.8.4 system.

I am a bit helpless here. Any help appreciated.

Thanks
