The paper deals with a general system of two coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations that admits exact solitary-pulse solutions with a stable zero background. The paper also describes a dual-core nonlinear optical fiber with gain in one case and losses in the other. There are studied the following bifurcations of the solitary-pulse solutions. A first kind of bifurcation gives rise to destabilization through a subcritical Hopf bifurcation, which triggers a cascade of splitting of solitary-pulses into a pair of pulses that suffer the splitting again and again. This process of multiplication of the pulses ends up with an establishment of a ``turbulent'' state in the system. Another bifurcation concerns the splitting of quiescent solitary-pulses into two stable traveling pulses. The third bifurcation studied in the paper is that which breaks the mirror-symmetry of the quiescent pulse, giving rise to an asymmetric stable traveling pulse.
