Hi Stefan.
I installed libraries with debug symbols in my gentoo system and run the test
under gdb. The bug didn't reproduce either running under gbd or in command line
with debugging information enabled (-ggdb)
This bug is reproduced only in console without debugging information, so I
can't provide my stack trace.
It looks like there is a race condition in the library. The SegFault doesn't
happen when running under gdb, because it produces a lot of output about
opening/closing threads. 

I also run the test in Ubuntu 8.04, with 2.6.24-16 kernel. The tests hangs with
one swf file - ordinary flash movie.

The main goal of the method canPlay is to say true/false without
hanging/crashing, but it sometimes happens.

I can provide you with the media files I use in the test, tell me where to put
them.
