Are there any that don't experience it?
I just tried running ffmpeg on a power6+ machine under gdb and got:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Anyone have an idea what to look at exactly? I really wish debug builds
wouldn't have so much 'optimized out' stuff that makes reading stack
