Sorry I can't help with this. Purify would be useful for tracing this
problem. Does anybody out there have it for unix?

I should say that I was able to reproduce this on non-gnome unix build, but I
had to repeat this procedure 3 times
(new,close,new,close,new,close,new->CRASH)

Yes, I encountered problem with them in my app too - even if you
gtk_timeout_remove()
timeout function could be called once after that call (I assume it's
not removed from the queue if it's scheduled but if gtk_timeout_remove is
called for that timeout function).
I plan to write a small program to illustrate this and post it on
gtk-devel-list@gnome.org
