Your backtrace indicates that the segfault occurs in the memset, which
write to a memory area provided by XvCreateImage. I therefore suspect
that this is caused by your video driver. I see that you are using
kFreeBSD, may I ask what video driver you are using, so that I can
reassign this bug appropriately?

As a workaround, using opengl or Xshm as video backend could work.

Cheers,
