Package: libtheora0 Version: 1.1.1+dfsg.1-3 Severity: normal Hey,
Long story so bare with me. I've been working on a gstreamer application, which uses one or more theora encoders. For some reason i kept getting weird crashes that i couldn't explain. With valgrind i kept hitting the following: $ valgrind gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! queue ! theoraenc ! fakesink ==29930== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==29930== Copyright (C) 2002-2009, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==29930== Using Valgrind-3.5.0-Debian and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==29930== Command: gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! queue ! theoraenc ! fakesink ==29930== Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

To be able to debug a bit better i recompiled without optimisations and the bug magically went away... After some trail and error it seems that the combination of -finline-functions and -funroll-loops is the cause of the issue when using GCC 4.4, with GCC 4.3 everything works fine as well.. Figuring out what actually goes wrong in GCC here is probably going to take quite some time, so i'd suggest compiling theora without -funroll-loops for now.
