Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: transcode

I installed dvd::rip today, which uses transcode to create the AVI
files. I'm using 2-pass encoding, and quite a lot of the time transcode
freezes at 99% on the first pass.

gdb shows three threads when transcode is in this state: two threads are
in conditional waits, and the third one is in a "pause()" call.

Looking around the web, I found this:

http://www.transcoding.org/transcode?Transcode_FAQ

<blockquote>
If your problem is that transcode "hangs" immediately, or even after some time, 
you may be experiencing the venerable old thread-version problem.

If running transcode this way: "env LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0 transcode
..." fixes the problem, then it's thread version issues, not transcode,
that's at fault.

See: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/assumekernel.html
</blockquote>

The suggested solution doesn't work on my installation. I also don't see
the link between NPTL and the hang. I haven't looked in the source code
yet.
