[mythtv] Segfault with cutpoint at start of recording?

Hi,
I have a couple of recordings that "begin" with a cutpoint... that is, I cut
out the junk from the beginning of the recording (like commercials and
"Previously on...")

When I go to watch the recording, the frontend segfaults. I've tested with two
recordings now, and the stack looks the same to me. When at least one of the
recordings has no cutlist, it plays fine.

The backend seems to keep going (with no errors), since I only need to restart
the frontend to recover.

I'm running CVS which I updated this morning. I updated after I hit this crash
on CVS from about a week or so ago.

Note:
The stack might not be useful, as "info threads" returns nothing, and "thread
apply all bt full" also returns nothing. I had to type "bt" to get a stack. So
it might not be correct. But I'm posting it anyway. It appears that my system
can't find the libraries it needs for threaded debugging. Many thanks to thor
for helping figure that out.

Here's what I do to hit this crash:
  - record a program
  - play it back, and set the first cutpoint to delete "before" the current
    point
  - leave the recording
  - play the recording

Hopefully the steps above can give enough information to see if I'm doing
something completely stupid, or maybe someone can reproduce and get a more
useful stack...

Anything else I can provide that might be helpful?
