There is a new version of gstreamer for Intrepid (0.10.21-3) now, so I
am going to try that before I try to tear through the system.

See the attached file, which contains the best I've been able to come up
with so far.  I am about to install today's updates, and I *hope* that
whatever brokeded yesterday is unbrokeded today, but we'll see; I
noticed a few gstreamer updates in today's batch.

Note that there are no “debugging symbols”, per sé, for Banshee.
Banshee is a managed mode application and requires a different debugger
for dumping stack traces.  Don't know if I know how to do that quite yet
or not, I know how to use the traces when Mono's runtime outputs them
automatically, but that's not happening in this case.  It seems (from
the second stack trace in the attached file) that the SIGSEGV is being
caused by the Mono runtime's inability to handle SIGABRT properly in
this case.  It's strange given that I'm used to the runtime outputting a
very helpful stack trace when something goes horribly wrong outside of
the managed world.
