What version of glib were you using when you ran into this problem? I believe
the change I made fixes this:

Fri Oct 18 13:44:24 2002  Manish Singh  <yosh gimp org>

        * glib/giochannel.c (g_io_channel_read_line_backend): avoid
        creating negative values out of unsigned values using MAX,
        check to see if the result would be positive before doing
        the calculation.

which is in the 2.0.7 release (or CVS HEAD).
