Description:
A libvisual-plugins bug from 2008 has returned from the grave - possibly due to gcc changes - following a recent update:
[2012-02-16 12:06] upgraded libvisual-plugins (0.4.0-4 -> 0.4.0-5)
Causing numerous applications to segfault. The original report is at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvisual-plugins/+bug/287448

I extracted verbatim the debian 60_no-const-vispluginfo-in-nastyfft.patch which resolves the bug in this case as well. Attached are the resultant files.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/libvisual-plugins 0.4.0-5
core/glibc 2.15-6
core/gcc 4.6.2-7


Steps to reproduce:
$ pidgin

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstlibvisual.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork and debug.
