Well, deleting it usually works :-)
A good practice when trying new xine versions is to first remove all files
in /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins (or whatever your prefix is) and then do
a 'make install' from xine-lib. If that doesn't help, removing HOME/.xinerc
sometimes works wonders.

But I'd still really like a SIGSEGV handler as outlined below to make the
process of figuring out what's going wrong easier.
