Hey all,

I've been trying for the past 24 hours to get at this bug involving a
glib signal, and have had no luck actually managing to get anything even
close to a backtrace so i can see what's going on. Here's the deal:

I've come across what is probably the biggest showstopper with Gst# at
this point, which is a problem with the "eos" signal sent out when the
end of a stream is reached. Here's the last bit after doing "mono --debug
--trace test-gst-backend.exe ~/foo.ogg:

=2E . . LEAVE: Gst.Element:SetState (Gst.ElementState)result=3D1
=2E . LEAVE: GstBackend:Play ()
=2E . ENTER: (wrapper native-to-managed)
GstSharp.voidObjectSignal:voidObjectCallback (intptr,int)(0x8196e08, 0,
)
Segmentation fault

The segfault happens when the end of the song is reached, I've tried
inserting WriteLines at the earliest point possible in the signal
handling for end of stream, and it never gets there. This leads me to
think that something at the managed-unmanaged interface level is screwy.
I've tried my best at using gdb on mono, then setting the args, etc. But
never get anywhere. Trying to just run it after setting the args yields
this:

Trying to do a backtrace on all the threads yields nothing. nada.

So... how do i actually get some meaningful info so i can even start to
try to debug this? Any suggestions are welcome.

PS - the system is using glibc-2.3.2 with NPTL enabled on a 2.6 kernel.
Everything is beta1 release stuff except the gst-sharp from CVS
(obviously).
