Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-03-03 00:35:34 UTC

-> GStreamer

This seems to be crashing inside GStreamer, moving.

Comment 2 Jan Schmidt 2008-03-03 12:46:27 UTC

This seems like it would have to be corruption elsewhere. At that point in the GStreamer initialisation, it's just interning some quark strings with g_quark_from_static_string.

Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2008-03-03 13:04:59 UTC

The stack trace also doesn't look entirely right, e.g.: group = (GOptionGroup *) 0x1 in frame #2, gst_init (argc=0x60cd50, argv=0x1) in #frame 4.

Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2009-04-15 18:53:37 UTC

This bug is ancient, closing until someone can reproduce it with newer versions of things.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
