I took the ticket, but if you compile the source on your own, can you
test the following change?

Edit libs/libmythui/mythuiimage.cpp and go to line 87.  Add a couple
lines at the top of the run() method to make it look like this:

    void run()
    {
        if (!m_parent)
            return;

        QString tmpFilename;
        if ((m_filename.startsWith("/")) ||

If m_parent is null for some reason, we'd segfault, so this will check
for that.  If it still segfaults on the m_parent->LoadImage call, then
please run your frontend with background image loading turned off and
try to reproduce the issue again.

To turn off background image loading, set an environment variable
called DISABLETHREADEDMYTHUIIMAGE to 1.  If this env variable is
defined, all images are loaded in the foreground.

Thanks.
