I've now had a chance to rebuild against dev-SVN-r25122-4.1.3 with debug
enabled.

The gdb output is available at -
http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv/images/h264/clip1.debug.out

Also the config.mak file is here -
http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv/images/h264/clip1.config.mak

I've uploaded a file "clip1.ts" to the ftp incoming directory along with
a file clip1.txt containing a verbose run and a debug run.
