I would guess, that vamps did it....
i tried several requantizers, and with some of
my video files, i had this problem,
seg-fault without further details.
Those requantizers are all pretty early stage,
i guess.

vamps, streamdvd, requant..., could it be that they are all using
pretty much the same requant code? Just adding some different wrapping?
because they behave same. seg-fault with the same mpeg-files.
generally i like the idea of streaming requant tools,
and quick they also are.
they only need to work a bit more reliably.
