IIRC last time I saw this it was a compiler bug on PPC. Are you running this on PPC as well? What's the gcc/compiler version you're using?
Tim, I believe you are correct. I too vaguely remember this to be a PPC compiler bug. Hmmm... Maybe it was an optimization level bug? I have built gstreamer using both gcc-3.4.4 and gcc-4.0.2. I see the same bug in both cases. I will poke at this a bit more. -Joseph
Tim, Sorry for wasting your time. It was an optimization bug. When I shut off optimization, the problem goes away Running suite(s): data protocol 100%: Checks: 5, Failures: 0, Errors: 0 PASS: libs/gdp -Joseph
For what it's worth... Reducing the optimization level to '-O1' is good enough. -Joseph
