Usually when Gaim starts, but not all the time, it crashes. Rarely, it occurs long after Gaim has started. It seems to be a GStreamer bug, but the fact that it happens in gst_parse_yylex could point to a (yy)lex bug. When it connects to IRC, it auto-joins a few channels as well. This leads to a lot of sound events, so I think that could be the cause. I have several coredumps of this happening (although now they are for older versions of some libraries) and it's always at that same place. Reproducibility: Intermittent, though always in the same place in the code. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 17 Mar 2007 00:50:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -msse3 -O2 -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -msse3 -O2 -pipe -ggdb" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://cs.ubishops.ca/pub/gentoo http://adelie.polymtl.ca/ ftp://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/pub/gentoo/" LANG="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_CA.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage/local/layman/armagetron /usr/portage/local/layman/xeffects" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 avahi beagle berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cjk cli cpudetection cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dv dvd dvdr eds emboss encode exif fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac fontconfig fortran gd gdbm gif glitz gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal howl iconv ieee1394 immqt-bc ipv6 isdnlog jack jpeg kde lcms libg++ libnotify lm_sensors mad midi mikmod mono mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg openal openexr opengl pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session slang sndfile speex spell spl sse3 ssl sysfs tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis xinerama xml xorg xv zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0 hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv vesa fbdev" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
