OK, so that's memory-related then.  :P

Was this linked using librplay, out if interest?

That's a rather bold statement to make about the config-file parser (I
wasn't aware we had one per se.  :P).    I wasn't able to reproduce
this either when I looked into it a while back.  Unless the reporter
can obtain a corefile, and hence a backtrace, there's not a lot to be
done.
