elisa fails to start with segfault in libgstpython.so

[Thomas E Jenkins]

Binary package hint: elisa

Starting elisa from the commandline results in the following. I can import the gst and pgm modules without segfault in the python2.6 interpreter. The elisa command did not accept the suggested --gst-disable-segtrap option.

Current core version: 0.5.28

Please either:

- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.

You could say the transition to Moovida "fixed" this bug. Marking it "Won't Fix" is probably more correct but I cannot do that.
