avdec_h264 seg fault

[Gary Metalle]

Hi Nicolas.

gdb just stops at the point of the illegal instruction in a thread for the 'queue' in the pipeline always at the same location. The disassembly window just shows what appears random ARM instructions. I'll try to see if can get some backtrace but it doesn't look hopeful. 
If I take out the queue from the pipeline then the error just moves to another gstreamer thread created by the pipeline.

I briefly saw a couple of frames go through the encoder (it's for a softphone so was waiting for video at a remote phone).

I could try a simple test app I guess that runs the gst-launch command that also fails in the same way but it will probably not give any more backtrace than have seen already. Maybe I'll have to see if can get gstreamer built with debug information for the binaries.

Gary.

Perhaps you can run this in gdb and share a backtrace of the crash ?
