i have -5.

I am running feisty and when I download the source and try to compile
it some of the stuff fails to use the quicktime headers.

It looks for /usr/include/quicktime/ but according to the
quicktime-dev package there located in something like /usr/include/qtm
or something like that. After I fixed that, some of the data
structures in the quicktime were off.

I dont have time right now to play with it, but if you suspect that
that is the cause of the crash, then I will wait for the feisty
repository to incorporate this fix.

Thanks
