Hi all,

I've recently received a bug report for gxine [1] on Rawhide (SEGFAULT
when playing a song). The problem is that I cannot reproduce the issue
(neither on F10 nor on Rawhide) and the reporter is unable to produce
back-trace (I am unable to reproduce this error as well):

$ gdb gxine
GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (6.8.50.20090210-1.fc11)
...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/gxine 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Error while reading shared library symbols:
find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error
find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error

I hope to either bisect the issue myself or at least forward it with
useful info upstream, so I though I'd ask -devel and -test lists for
help.

For -devel: Does anyone know what might be wrong with gdb in this case?
Should I expect gxine or gdb to be at fault? Any other ideas what can
the reporter do to give me useful information about the SEGFAULT? On a
related note, I'd welcome a co-maintainer for gxine because I use it
very rarely lately (practically only for DVD-Video) and it would be
good to have someone who uses it more co-maintaining it...

For -test: Is anyone able to reproduce the SEGFAULT *and* produce a
useful back-trace? If so, please attach your back-trace to the bug.

Thanks,
Martin
