Then the problem should be something else.

Wasn't there a backtrace with the error above? Usually glibc gives a
lib backtrace, so that you know in which loaded lib glibc died. If
there is no backtrace, then the software with an issue is the caller
itself.

So it may be that flac/ogg are truggering corruption in xmms and not
in their own domain. That's rather nasty to debug.

I'll try to reproduce it. Do you have any small example file to test
it with?
