I rebuilt it with the standard debug options, and so far I've seen two
more core dumps, both in different locations, both while viewing live
TV.  The first makes no sense to me as the bt shows it dieing
right off the start, but if I remember right, I had watched the TV
for several minutes..

The second was also after several minutes, but as you can see
the crash was in strange place, no question what the args were for
this call...

Since then, I've had no more crashes.  However I've had to
turn down the resolution considerably because the unoptimized code
can't keep up.

I'm starting to wonder if this might be some reentrant / multi-threaded
bad behavior.  The machine is a 2 cpu Pentium II-450.  Will I get
enough debug info if I turn on the full optimization with the -g flag?
I'd really like to get the resolution back up a bit.

I'll keep trying to get more clear behavior.
