Hi,

Yes - do a disassembly of that function and see if it's crashing on an
SSE2 instruction.

It's possible the gstreamer code you have is passing in a badly
aligned pointer for SSE2.

I saw the same thing on FreeBSD-HEAD with firefox and chromium
packages. Some tweaks to the chromium port were made but I don't know
about gstreamer/firefox.
