Hello Fred Korz, I just tried to get some more information out of backtrace, without having an iPod or being involved on packaging rhythmbox...
But am I right this "Debian Release: rodete" is a version of gLinux - Googles internal rebuild of Debian testing? Can this be downloaded somewhere? And are there debug symbols available for installation? In Debian these packages are available in a separate repository [1] and are named like this: rhythmbox-dbgsym librhythmbox-core10-dbgsym libglib2.0-0-dbgsym libtdb1-dbgsym If yes, you could try to install them and run rhythmbox like this and provide the output: gdb -q -ex 'set width 0' -ex 'set pagination off' -ex 'run' -ex 'bt' -ex 'detach' -ex 'quit' --args /usr/bin/rhythmbox As this fault seems to be inside the memory allocator, maybe setting "export MALLOC_CHECK_=2" might reveal some more details? Can this fault be reproduced on a plain Debian testing, too? Kind regards, Bernhard [1] https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Installing_the_debugging_symbols [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6750815/how-to-turn-off-glibc-run-time-protections
