That is the problem with race conditions. They do only appear because of 
bad timing between the threads and usually go away magically when you 
try to debug them. Does it happen with one particular disc? (the 
console dump was LotR, right?) Maybe this even is related to the 
segfault Markus Plail reported on xine-user.
