looks like a libmms crash, re assigning, thanks.

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 9.04 (libmms 0.4-2) and affects all applications which access mms urls through gstreamer and libmms. Totem, Rhythmbox and Banshee all show the same behaviour. Listen to a mp3 file, then switch to network radio from a mms url and it crashes immediately.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Backtrace from rhythmbox attached.

The behaviour is the same for all application which establish connections using libmms through gstreamer on all machine-architectures and ubuntu-releases I've tried over the last year or two so it shouldn't be hard to reproduce. Just try swapping back and forth between listening to a mp3-file and netradio from a mms url and it will fail. Often the first time switching to mms, almost certainly within 3 or 4 attempts. All backtraces pointing to a string overflow within mms_connect().
