Are there any that don't experience it? I just tried running ffmpeg on a power6+ machine under gdb and got: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0f6ff37c in ff_fft_calc_altivec () at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/ppc/fft_altivec_s.S:447 447 DECL_FFTS 0 (gdb) where #0 0x0f6ff37c in ff_fft_calc_altivec () at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/ppc/fft_altivec_s.S:447 #1 0x0f6feaa8 in ff_imdct_half_altivec (s=<optimized out>, output=<optimized out>, input=<optimized out>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/ppc/fft_altivec.c:93 #2 0x0f437ce8 in imdct_and_windowing (ac=0x10040ca0, sce=0xf7f260c0) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/aacdec.c:1856 #3 0x0f43caa8 in spectral_to_sample (ac=<optimized out>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/aacdec.c:2015 #4 aac_decode_frame_int (avctx=<optimized out>, data=0xf7f95020, data_size=0xffffda78, gb=<optimized out>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/aacdec.c:2170 #5 0x0f43ccec in aac_decode_frame (avctx=<optimized out>, data=<optimized out>, data_size=<optimized out>, avpkt=<optimized out>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/aacdec.c:2216 #6 0x0f77f25c in avcodec_decode_audio3 (avctx=0x100406a0, samples=<optimized out>, frame_size_ptr=<optimized out>, avpkt=<optimized out>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavcodec/utils.c:726 #7 0x0ff3f924 in try_decode_frame (avpkt=0x100466e0, st=0x1003ede0) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavformat/utils.c:2104 #8 av_find_stream_info (ic=0x1003e840) at /root/libav-0.7.1/libavformat/utils.c:2388 #9 0x1000b200 in opt_input_file (opt=<optimized out>, filename=<optimized out>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/ffmpeg.c:3271 #10 0x1000f0fc in parse_options (argc=4, argv=0xffffe184, options=0x10026720, parse_arg_function=0x1000cfd0 <opt_output_file>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/cmdutils.c:287 #11 0x100067c8 in main (argc=4, argv=<optimized out>) at /root/libav-0.7.1/ffmpeg.c:4444 (gdb) Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. Anyone have an idea what to look at exactly? I really wish debug builds wouldn't have so much 'optimized out' stuff that makes reading stack traces so hard. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
