Post your mythfrontend log (a "-v all" command line argument will
produce more debugging messages), and maybe somebody will recognize
something.  Details about what you're doing when it crashes would be
useful.

Also, if you're getting a seg fault, follow these directions to get a
backtrace:

That should help point out where the error is.
