Nope.

I'll see about getting it installed.

That would be extremely challenging.  This is a large app that successfully
processes commodity exchange price data over a period of several days before
croaking.  Large app + highly dynamic input + very low frequency of
occurrence ==> a very hard problem to reproduce.  We can run using
historical data, but using it cuts out major elements of our infrastructure,
including the part where the error occurs, so that's not an option...

Is it possible to coax Gtk into telling us more about the problem, like the
type of the object it's complaining about?

Thanks,
