Um, can you compile the pkg_* tools with -ggdb and give me a full "bt"
from gdb?

Hum... I take you did compile the glib-1.1.12 from pkgsrc?
(One doesn't add binary packages with pkg_create but with pkg_add, but
that's mostlikely known).

The glib (1.1.12) on my i386/current machine here is from Jan 20th, so it
seems this didn't show up here. :/
