Comment (by macports@…):

 Random thought, triggered by an off-hand comment a glib developer made on
 the glib ticket about it being theoretically possible to write a non-
 threaded gtk application: maybe what changed is the _order_ in which
 things are done at startup (ie, maybe in gimp or gtk).  Maybe there is now
 a thread being spawned *before* DBUS launch/plugin discovery, where as
 previously those were happening before any other threads got started?
 Certainly to the OS one looks like "single threaded program wants to run
 something" and the other looks like "multi-threaded program wants to run
 something", which in several POSIX compliant OS get treated differently.
 (Not sure what effect this would have later on, eg, using plugins -- but
 if, eg, the malloc() for the full path name being discovered is the
 trigger, it might be that gimp is calling it with a full path name -- thus
 skipping that malloc -- when it uses the plugin.)
