Details

Description:
Blender crashes (segfault) whenever I press "play animation" in the toolbar.
It works fine when I download Blender as a standalone version from blender.org (also 2.66a)

Additional info:
* package version(s):
blender 2.66a-2
linux 3.8.6-1
glibc 2.17-5

* config and/or log files etc.

This is the crash log (/tmp/<some_mystical_symbols>.crash.txt):

Works fine for me. Send your .blend file. By play you mean Alt-A?

Yeah, I mean Alt-A ;)
I don't think that it has something to do with my .blend files, because this bug also occurs with the initial cube (even if there aren't any keyframes).
In the last half hour I experimented a bit and found out that it works _sometimes_ (just randomly).
The strange thing about that is that when it worked one time, it always works afterwards (even if I restart Blender) until I reboot my PC.

PS: Today I tried that on my laptop (running Arch as well!) - it always works fine there.

I'm sorry but you'll have to acknowledge that this is absolutely nothing to go at. I need some concrete test case for this with a scenario description. It works for me on x86_64 on 2 systems. Are you sure your system is not messed up? Sounds like corrupted RAM or harddrive.

I don't think that my PC is messed up, because basically Blender is the only application where I experienced any crashes like that.
However I still believe that it has something to do with the blender package in Arch, because as I already mentioned the standalone version from blender.org always works like a charm.

But anyway, thanks for looking into it! ;)

Well, if you give me anything to go at to recreate your situation, I can try to debug this. If you can't, I will close this because an unfixable bug is not a very useful bug.
