Forwarding to the GStreamer people…
What were you doing when this happened? The stacktrace is in itself not very usefull, there was likely some other code somewhere that managed to corrupt the refcount somehow. Was the codec installer running/scanning for new plugins?
I mentioned this on the downstream bug: "Totem crashes when adding a movie from the Add dialog, even if Cancel is pressed." I haven't been able to reproduce it though.
Not sure we can do anything about this with the info provided. Closing, since this is ancient and there haven't been duplicates and it doesn't seem to be easily reproducable. I'm particularly suspicious about the g_slice_alloc call in the other thread that's done concurrently, since I remember ther were memory corruption issues with GSlice if g_thread_init() wasn't called early enough, and given the fairly old versions of things in this report, those GSlice problems may very well be the issue. Please re-open if s still an issue with newer versions or reproducable with the older versions. 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.
