This crash is NOT due to any proprietary code, or binary blob.  There is
a really simple fix for it (that I posted way back in  2010-04-06).

Look at comment #4.  My fix isn't great, btw.  You could still get a
buffer overflow.  The correct solution would be to check the size of the
exec string before loading it to make sure that it is not longer than
the size of the media_command array.
