This warning message is harmless and is very likely not the cause of
the segfault.

Rathann is right, a backtrace would probably point to what the actual
problem is.

Rathann checked in a patch from John Stebbins that removed that
warning message on December 9th of last year, so it is not yet in the
released version of libdvdread.
