stack trace

Due to a regression introduced in 5dd6d2a binary spice-vdagent is crashing and
dumping core on Arch Linux.

The crashes take place right upon launch. It doesn't matter whether the binary
is launched at sessions' beginning according to the autostart specification or
manually within a running session. Also, the findings are the same in LXQt,
Xfce 4 and Openbox ("only" / no desktop environment) sessions.
Binary spice-vdagentd is not affected and running flawlessly all the time.
Only x86_64 systems seem to be affected while the i686 platform isn't. (Recent
commits of spice-vdagent seem to be dysfunctional on this platform which is
probably a different issue, though.)
Commits 08ff8d7 (and 8ce6ca9 representing the last commit I had been running
before) are not affected.

Both stack trace and back trace are attached. These are a bit sparse but
enabling debug symbols doesn't seem to be that straight forward (a make target
debug doesn't seem to exist and blindly setting a configure option
--enable-debug didn't seem to have an effect)?
