Having recently done some development on the XviD plugins, I have also run
across a share of segfaults (all within XviD).  They are particularly likely to
occur whenever both xviddec and xvidenc are part of the pipeline, strangely
enough.
Even stranger (?), adding efence can also make these disappear (though it is
supposed to be provoke them :) ), so it seems inherently unstable in its
occurence (depending on the memory layout ?)

Anyway, to bring this babbling to something more concrete; on my system (using
XviD 1.1.0 and latest GStreamer 0.10) the following is very likely to segfault:
videotestsrc ! xvidenc ! efence ! xviddec ! xvimagesink
(yes, *with* efence in this case :) )
Without efence, results come out just fine (so, elements seem to be telling
xvid where to look?).  Also no problems if the encoded material is placed in
file (e.g. mkv) and then subsequently played.  However, it does segfault upon
playing when efence is inserted before xviddec.
