I've never seen a crash here - this is the command line option parsing
code, which is using glib APIs.

If it's crashing here, my best guess would be that you've somehow
miscompiled glib - I'm unfamiliar with your platform, so I can't
really be more specific, sorry.

Good luck debugging this - it doesn't look to be anything gstreamer-specific.
