I don't know about this one. I use g++ 4.0, gtk+ 2.6.7 and glib 2.6.5 
too, on FC3/FC4, and xfc-demo's Stock Item runs OK. I can only assume 
that it must be something to do with IRIX. I notice that the SIGSEGV 
signal is generated by this libary call to strlen():

0 strlen(0x8, 0x10585e50, 0x1, 0x4613408, 0xf, 0x0, 0x10132588, 0xffbffeff) ["/xlv46/6.5.22m/work/irix/lib/libc/libc_n32_M4/strings/strlen.s":58, 0xfa502b0]

which is called like this:

strlen() in libc_n32_M4  <---  g_strdup()  <---  
Xfc::Gtk::StockItem::set()  <---  Xfc::Gtk::Stock::lookup()

and g_strdup() is reporting a null string (new_str = nil and length = 0 
in item 3) .

I will have to have a think about this. Is there a longer log or is the 
one you sent it. I know I didn't take null string values into account 
because g_strdup() handles null values without error.

I will have to get back to you,
Jeff.
