 hmm, i'm guessing it's the uninitialised last argument (from the
g_type_check_instance_cast) but it could equally, athough unlikely, be
the body arg.

 you really need to recompile some of these object files with debug
info. try rm DerivedSources/gdom/*GdomDocument*.lo, do export CXX=gcc
-g -g, re-run configure etc.  that will get you _just_ debug info in
the gdom_document_* functions which will be enough for the purposes
here, without forcing you to recompile absolutely damn everything.

 but yes - try NULL on that last argument (just a guess, here) err
nope, no can do, there - take a look at
DerivedSources/gdom/GdomDocument.cpp:

GdomXPathResult *
gdom_document_evaluate (GdomDocument *thiz, gchar * expression,
GdomNode * context_node, GdomXPathNSResolver * resolver, gushort type,
GdomXPathResult * in_result)
{
    ....
    ....
    WebCore::XPathResult * _g_in_result = WebKit::core(in_result);
    g_return_val_if_fail (_g_in_result, 0);
    ....
}

so - nope, in_result cannot be NULL, and you absolutely must _not_
pass in an uninitialised variable, either.

so - you're going to have to find a GdomXPathResult instance from somewhere.

keep looking around for documentation on this function, i'll do
likewise: if anyone has anything to contribute that can help leon out,
it would be appreciated.
