Zombie process - XMMS

[karma]

Alright, well, XMMS will run when ran under root, but when I run it under user, I get a segfault. I've tried reinstalling xmms entirely, removed the .xmms dir from my home, what else can I do to fix this?

I had no problem running XMMS as user, til it crashed due to some playlist mishap, now I get segfaults whenever I run it as user.

$ ps auxc | grep 'Z'
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND

This is a complete guess, but is the particular user in the "audio" group.

It won't hurt to try.

yeah, the user is in the audio group. Like I said, up til a day ago or so, XMMS ran flawlessly as user, but then it crashed due to some playlist mishap (added a bad media file) and ever since, I've been getting segfaults, even after removing ~/.xmms and reinstalling entirely.

Is it http://bugs.debian.org/261001 otherwise check http://bugs.debian.org/xmms there are quite a lot to choose from.
