I've been working on this one for the past week, as I was told it was a crash that only happened with the autopackages.
In fact it seems to be C++ ABI related - I cleaned my system of GTKmm/GLIBmm entirely, used the autopackaged versions, and it went away.
Unfortunately this bug is really hard to reproduce because C++ optimization causes parts of the STL to be inlined making it hard to figure out which line is actually crashing (it's a string delete). When I built an unoptimized package on navi (the autopackage build machine), the crash went away.
So I'd check that this guy isn't in the middle of a compiler transition. Re-emerging GTKmm/GLIBmm/sigc++ may help.
This guy has apparently emerged glib (gthreads) with the wrong USE flags. gthreads should be enabled but the error message implies that it's not.
