But that's not where the > segfault is happening in my case (as my earlier message showed). Just to be clear, I did not see any failure in this function either. But failures later (in gnome-vfs I think) were due to memory corruption which went away when I increased this buffer to 1024 bytes. Circumstantial evidence I know, but I raised this issue just in case it helps with glib-2.0.x.
