Hi all,
I'm in need of some help here. I am using Dharma on a new miniman lucid install. All works fine, except it's very unstable when using the subtitles addons. What happens is when I chose the subtitles icon while watching an avi, it goes to pause and, sometimes, right before showing the script window, it crashes. It seems that if I let the movie go a little while before trying to access the script, it goes well. Seems to me the movie slows down a bit before xbmc crashes out.
I suspect a problem on my side because I ran the exact same install from another pc and I'm unable to replicate the problem. Still, the first box is my multimedia box and I must debug it somehow.
Here's the link to the gdb backtrace:

Thanks to all looking.
EDIT: the two machines have also another difference: the bugged one is running the install from a usb key with casper. The other one has the real filesystem running from an actual HD, so full r/w.
EDIT2: more proof xbmc is not reponsible: I run the same svn revision on another casper running install on the same machine, just using karmic instead of lucid. Doesn't happen there. Pity, because lucid starts way faster...
