[theora] Theora decoding problem on PowerPC

Maik,

It was a default build (-O2 -g).  I've been building a non-optimized
version (-O0 -g -fno-inline).  Are there Theora specific debugging flags
that you'd like me to set (e.g., -DDEBUG or something like that)?

Hi Jim!

Okay, thanks for trying this out.

Can you check if the backtrace you provided was done with a debug
compile of beta1?
