[sf-lug] Segfaulting

[Anton Kast]

I am no expert, but I think XMMS uses plugins to decode its various sound
formats, and this call stack suggests there is a linking error when loading
one of these plugins.

I'd look for a corrupt or incompatible XMMS plugin, perhaps something called
"lib*.so" under /usr/lib/xmms.
