Public bug reported:
Most of the media player applications on my G3 iBook no longer work
after upgrading to Edgy. Affected applications include totem, mplayer,
vlc, and any application using ffmpeg.
All of the affected applications die with SIGILL at an mtrsave
instruction when trying to detect whether the CPU supports Altivec.
I suspect the intent in the code is set up a SIGILL handler to catch
this case, but the handler is not getting correctly set up, so the
application is terminated instead.
** Affects: Ubuntu
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
