#2485: mythmusic segmentation fault, not when running through gdb

     Type:  defect            |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  minor             |   Milestone:  unknown
Component:  mythmusic         |     Version:  0.20   
 Severity:  medium            |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 I'm experiencing occasional, random segmentation faults in MythMusic.  I'm
 currently running the 0.20 release version of mythtv and mythplugins.

 The segfaults seem to be occurring when starting a new track. Sometimes it
 happens right when I enter mythmusic, sometimes it plays fine for hours
 before segfaulting.  All of this is while playing in random shuffle mode,
 I'm unsure whether any other shuffle modes have the same problem since I
 rarely use them.

 Initially I thought that I might have one or two corrupted tracks that
 caused segfaults when mythmusic tried to load them, but I went through my
 entire collection today and all of them started playing fine.

 Unfortunately while running mythfrontend through gdb in an attempt to get
 a backtrace I've been unable to replicate the segfault. I'll leave it
 playing the rest of tonight and all of tomorrow to make sure, but it seems
 that running through gdb prevents the random segfaults.

 I know the lack of a backtrace will probably make this very hard to debug,
 what other information can I provide to help? Other than this one problem
 mythtv is rock solid stable, and the system has been up for over 29 days
 now so it is not a faulty RAM problem.
