[vorbis] bizarre bug with XMMS vorbis plugin

[Zack Weinberg]

I am using the 1.0beta3 vorbis plugin with XMMS.  XMMS segfaults
immediately when asked to load any .ogg file.  Well, usually it
segfaults immediately.  On occasion you can get out of the file
selection box; then it segfaults when it tries to scroll the
playlist.  Once it started playing a file and then crashed after the
first ten seconds.

More bizarre still, if I run XMMS under GDB (in hopes of getting a
backtrace) it doesn't crash at all.

xmms is version 1.2.3 (the package from Debian unstable; "1.2.3-1.1")
and the vorbis plugin is the official 1.0beta3 binary from xiph.org
(Debian's package hasn't been updated since 1.0beta2).  I have a
sinking feeling this is a thread-related problem, so it might be worth
knowing that Debian unstable uses glibc 2.2.
