Yes, when I first saw this I assumed it was an issue of having a local
version of glib2 installed that is too new for bluefish, and some
other function call is calling g_string_free_and_steal, resulting in a
linker error.

But i see looking at the bluefish source code that it does indeed call
g_string_free_and_steal, which should have caused it to bump its
configure.ac version of glib2 required, but it still claims to support
glib2 >= 2.24, which is way off.

Has this been reported upstream?
