[mythtv-users] OS X Build failure

[MythTV MythTV]

At present I am verifying the crash/core dump and making sure it's not
package related (aka something in the QT compile or similar).  I have
written up a MythTV tracking ticket for this crash here:
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11458

I might not be the best resource to look at this core dump but I will spend
some time in GDB and see if I can learn anything.  What I know so far is
that the problem comes from OSD destructor ~OSD() after the user either
stops recording playback or the recording playback stops by itself.  This
seems to lead to stack corruption somewhere in the mythfrontend because the
resulting stack trace is garbaged at the point of dumping segfault (signal
11).  The Mac OS was able to get the full stack trace though - see the
ticket for details.

Also note that this issue appears to also happen on (non-Macintosh) computers
- I reference a related MythTV ticket number in my bug submition.

If I learn anything I will email the details.
