I compiled with --enable-debug. what else should I do?  I think it
might be a lack of debug symbols in glib perhaps?

I could try that re-compile at 17746, but since I'm in the middle of
stepping through it, I'll fall back to that if I fail to find the
problem.  Definitely something with the g_hash_table and the addition
of destructors to the table. somewhere we are manually destroying
stuff (probably with good reason) and the g_hash_table_destroy is also
destroying stuff... right?
