Fixes: Bug 568760 - nautilus freezes due to a bug in garray.c:322
* glib/garray.c: increase the size of potential return values by
using an unsigned result; properly check if we still handle valid size
proposals, return the original request if there's no usable size left
* tests/array-test.c: reproduce the error condition of the bug report
Since gobject now initialized threads unconditionally if threads are
available it makes no sense to have each thread operation
conditionally check if threads are enables, so allow this to be avoided.

Crash interception/debugging systems like Apport or ABRT capture core dumps for
later crash analysis. However, if a program exits with an assertion failure,
the core dump is not useful since the assertion message is only printed to
stderr.
glibc recently got a patch which stores the message of assert() into the
__abort_msg global variable.
(http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=48dcd0ba)
That works fine for programs which actually use the standard C assert() macro.
This patch adds the same functionality for glib's assertion tests. If we are
building against a glibc which already has __abort_msg (2.11 and later, or
backported above git commit), use that, otherwise put it into our own field
__glib_assert_msg.
Usage:
$ cat test.c
#include <glib.h>
int main() {
g_assert(1 < 0);
return 0;
}
$ ./test
**ERROR:test.c:5:main: assertion failed: (1 < 0)
Aborted (Core dumped)
$ gdb --batch --ex 'print (char*) __abort_msg' ./test core
[...]
$1 = 0x93bf028 "ERROR:test.c:5:main: assertion failed: (1 < 0)"

One of the option context tests relied on the ability to
call g_set_pgrname() more than once. Thats no longer possible
(without incurring a warning that wrecks the test).
If g_io_win32_sock_close() has been called on a socket channel, don't
later in g_io_win32_free() call WSAEventSelect() on its fd which has
been set to -1.
The patch ensures that multibyte character sets are properly
nul-terminated. This is an issue because the documentation claims to
return a "nul-terminated" string and users of the API assume that means
a proper nul-termination in the resulting character set.
I looked at Pidgin and GStreamer code and found at least 3 cases where
this was happening.
This patch also reverts the documentation change from
5a633f82db as that is now no longer
necessary.
Implement g_test_log_set_fatal_handler which is a function similar to
g_log_set_default_handler but for use in unit tests where certain
errors have to be ignored because it is not possible to fix or avoid
them otherwise. A unit test is added.
This function exposes more variables than g_mkstemp() and therefor
allows more flexibility when creating temporary files.
The intended use is gio's code for g_file_replace() (see next patch)
This means we don't sync in the case where we created an (empty)
temp file and now replace it with the data.
This fixes (among other things) the performance of trashing files.
