gst_init never returns

[Andy Hopper]

I have a gstreamer app RTP/H.264 streaming application on Windows which
I've not modified and which used to work perfectly but which I haven't
run for a month or two. Well, now, when I run the app in Visual Studio
in debug mode, gst_init(NULL,NULL) never returns. When I run the same
code on Linux, it works fine as before, but it seems like something has
changed (windows updates, corporate security software, etc?). Curious if
anybody has run into this. I suppose I don't have the debug symbols
loaded for gstreamer so not able to step in to see what's going on in
there, but yeah it just hangs. Weirdest thing.

Thanks,

Andy
