Summary0001394: mt_plugintest2 still fails
DescriptionLooks like it crashes randomly when the gtk thumbnailer tries to do g_object_init(). I suspect g_object_init() doesn't like concurrency, and if two threads happen to initialize gtk at the "wrong" time, things go really bad.

I think this is in gobject, where we can do little about it (and where I am not sure the maintainers care).
Additional InformationOnce we migrate to libtool 2, we might be able to work around this by telling libtool to use LOCAL symbol resolution (using advice, see code #if 0'ed in extractor.c.

Seems to pass now with libtool2.
