Bug#637637: yoshimi: Yoshimi seg faults when started with -j -A option

[david]

Thanks, I tried what Alessio had mentioned below and encountered these 
results:

Their installed yoshimi = 0.060.10avlinux-2

Their yosihimi-data package = 0.058.1-1

No Yoshimi-dbg version

Their installed Jackd1 = 1:0.120.2avlinux-1

jackd2 wasn't installed, version they list in repository = 1.9.6~dfsg.1-2

The packages with avlinux in their names are all described as "custom 
built for AVLinux".

I replaced their jackd1 with their jackd2 and was able to run JACK at 
16msec latency without crash, but after that simnply starting Yoshimi 
with or without without any options gave me a segfault.

It sounds to me like I should just avoid AVLinux. If they feel the need 
to do so many "custom packages," and at least 2 of their custom packaged 
versions don't work, I don't think I can trust their quality control 
enough to risk using their distro for production work.
