[gst-devel] gstreamer head broken

It's better, but not working on Solaris.  The problem with the thread
not being initialized is gone, and the programs are no longer core
dumping...which is nice.

However, when I run gst-register, I get these errors over and over again
(I assume one for each plugin):

  (process:24313): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) 
      pointer to `GObject'

And it doesn't actually register any of the plugins.  I suspect that
this isn't Solaris specific.  Does gst-register work for you?
