Comment 6 for bug 31122

Very interesting: if I run "rhythmbox -d" I get a huge output and it all works. Actually I have to run it about 3-4 times and then it works; the first time it starts and then freezes, the second time it gets further and freezes and then it works fine. I tried redirecting the output from "rhythmbox -d" to a file but the times it freezes there is no output. When it finally works there is a huge text output (about 2.5M); I could try to send it to you if you need but I don't know how to attach it to this page. As for the gdb,
