totem-video-thumbnailer assert failure: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer: free(): corrupted unsorted chunks: 0x09cdef20 ***

Binary package hint: totem

I am using Lucid Beta which was updated on 26 March 2010

totem:
  Installed: 2.29.92-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 2.29.92-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 2.29.92-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

My preferences are set correctly, the gstreamer plugins are all installed (that I know of including good, bad, and ugly), and the codecs are all installed and the videos play in totem. I am using Lucid Beta and the problem seems worse after doing an update today, (I had not done one since last Sunday). I have tried deleting the cache, but I now end up with no thumbnails of video files in Nautilus.
