After compiling xine-lib-1.1.0 it segfaulted in zlib according to gdb. Without the fpic and other patches applied to zlib-1.2.3 it segfaulted elsewhere (alsa). This is all that I was able to take from the situation. I have not had this problem elsewhere.

Please, attach (don't paste} the debugger output and also complete emerge --info.
I no longer have the zlib on my system. I could rebuild it. The gdb was very brief, simply stating where the segfault occurred address and lib. I had to use kaffeine and xine-ui and kmplayer of course but it always segfaulted in zlib. I didnt see anything in strace that had anything to do with zlib but it doesn't exactly do alot. It seemed to occur immediately after the fonts were read.
