Yeah, it looks like a good backtrace.  The unknown symbols are in 
non-Myth libs.  I haven't gotten a chance to look through it, yet, but 
someone should before long.

I noticed that you interrupted it (presumably when it seemed to lock 
up)--you didn't actually get a segfault.  Was the processor maxed out 
(or relatively idle) when you interrupted it?

Any chance you could run with debug symbols for a while longer to try to 
catch a segfault?

Thanks for taking the time to get the backtrace.

Mike
