Binary package hint: gconf

I have maverick updated to last version.
Next I decide to update to Natty.

Upgrade process have been done with errors. I have found fork-bomb in system and what I done:
chmod a-x /usr/bin/gconftool-2

next upgrade continue, and after some amount of dpkg --configure -a the upgrade process have been done.

But when I enable execute_bits, fork bomb appear. Why?
gconf -> gio -> libgiolibproxy -> libproxy0.so -> gconf -> ....

See attached files: output of 'pstree -upal', gdb bt on process that begin that chain (it may be different process, but first items in stack are the same).

When I remove /usr/lib/libproxy/0.3.1/modules/config_gnome.so, fork bomb disappear.

What the hell ?!
problem is easily reproductible on my computer ( by recovering /usr/lib/libproxy/0.3.1/modules/config_gnome.so)
