XBMC sometimes crashes when playing a show from the recordings list

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm not sure exactly how to reproduce this problem; it simply seems that 
occasionally when I play a show from the list of recordings, it will crash.  It 
doesn't 
happen all the time, and it seems to happen more often if the computer has been 
idle on the channel recordings list for a while, but that could just be bad 
luck.  I've attached the log file generated by mythbox.

This is on a computer running Ubuntu 8.10 with XBMC from XBMC's official 
Intrepid repository.  I also have the latest release of MythBox.

Also, XBMC dumped a core file when it crashed.  Here's the top of the stack 
trace:  (it goes back quite a ways, but most of it doesn't look useful)

Got another crash.  This one has a different stack trace, so I thought I'd post 
it and the log file:

Is this still an issue in MythBox SVN 865?

Yes, I just saw it happen again.  This may be an issue with XBMC rather than 
mythbox, I have also occasionally 
seen it crash when play video files from other sources.

Are you seeing this problem with the just released XBMC Babylon?

Re-open if still an issue.

I haven't seen it happen yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
