uh, a bit complicated, here is how i usualy do it:

gdb ./vdr
(gdb) set args -c /etc/vdr -v /video0 -Pscanner -Psc
(gdb) run

this way you can simply do a 'run' over and over again. even if the binary is 
recompiled in between, gdb will simply reload it.

gdb will give you some information about the place where the segfault happend, 
make sure to include that. the do a 'bt'  (backtrace) for the current thread. 
some bugs are hard to track with only the current threads info, so you should 
also do a 'info threads' switch to each thread with 'thread x' (x = thread 
id) and do 'bt' for each of them.

such a report will quite likely become relativly large, so it might be a good 
idea to not bother the list with it and send it privatly.

Thanks for your efforts

Andreas
