Comment 11 for bug 263066

I have a similar problem with Intrepid. When I seek, it freezes the whole program right away. Is that what you're experiencing? You seem to indicate that it's only after you try to do something else that it freezes.
I was able to get a basic gdb trace, but I couldn't figure out how to get a backtrace since, like you said, it doesn't crash, it freezes.
