That's nothing to worry about...

Unfortunately, debug symbols are needed...

(If you don't have deb-src lines in your sources.list, add some and do an
update. They're essentially duplicates of your deb lines.)

  $ su - -c 'apt-get build-dep gxine'
  $ apt-get source gxine
  $ cd gxine-0.5.902
  $ make -f debian/rules build
  $ ./gxine-test --gdb

A tarball of your ~/.gxine, or at least your ~/.gxine/config, may be helpful.
It may be that that's enough to allow me to cause the segfault here, but
given the differences between 0.5.901 and .902, I'd be looking in the
direction of the LIRC support code.

So I think that a backtrace (with full debug info) would be of more help.
