Helen,

Thanks for replying. I looked at both tickets and based on their age,
suspect that they aren't the cause.

Tim,

I did a few more valgrind runs and tried to pastebin the output, but
it's 29MB. So, here's what I believe to be the last failure and the
summary:

     http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=rjVVXA6r

When I run the command in the above paste and try to watch a recording,
the Please Wait... screen shows up and 59 seconds later the FE crashes.
A vg.out.core.27055 ends up in /tmp where I put a vg.out file.

In other words, I don't know that I'm capturing the leak that occurs
during playback.
